نحن نؤمن بأن الدين الاسلامي هو دستور لكل تفاصيل الحياة ولم يغادر شيء إلا وذكره.اما موضوع الاجهاض فقد حذر الشرع من عواقب الاقدام عليه في موارد هي قاتلة للجيل البشري وهذا بمثابة عدم الرضا برزق الله وخلقه للجنين. وفي بعض الموارد الاستثنائية يجوز هذا اذا كا ن فيه خطرا على حياة الام عند الولادة .او كان الجنين مشوها الى درجة ان وفاته افضل من بقاءه حيا معذب بادارةحياته.والله تعالى اعلم
