Her husband is going to divorce her and she is in the early stages of pregnancy. Can she have an abortion?

Islam Question and Answer - Her husband is going to divorce her and she is in the early stages of pregnancy. Can she have an abortion?

My husband and I have a lot of problems, and we are about to separate. Then I found out that I am pregnant, in the first forty days of pregnancy. Is it permissible for me to abort this foetus without my husband’s permission, because he will not be pleased with that? If we are going to separate, why should I remain pregnant?.

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

I asked our Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rahmaan al-Barraak about this
question and he replied: 

It is not permissible for her to have an
abortion without her husband’s permission, because the husband has a right
concerning the child just as the wife does.

Following note from Learning Quran online Blog 

 

Learn holy Quran online which it self states in it that only those who are learn quran and pure should touch the holy text: This is indeed a Quran in Arabic in a book well-guarded, which none shall touch but those who are clean (56:77-79).  One should make formal ablutions before handling or Quran reading and this the quran tutor should tell in his quran teaching when quran for kids lessons are going on. After intercourse or menstrual bleeding one should not touch the holy Quran or do quran recitation and also not do quran memorization until after bathing non-Muslim should not handle the sacred text, but may listen to Quran online or read quran translation or exegesis. With all these things in mind when one is not reading or reciting holy Quran it should be closed and stored in nice and clean place, it should never be placed on floor or in a bathroom and Muslim should focus on reading quran the tajweed quran and its rules with a proper institute.
