Scholars have differed regarding the ruling on aborting a fetus in its early stage, before the completion of forty days. The preponderant view is that it is permissible if there is an excuse, a benefit, or to avert an anticipated harm. Based on this, there is no blame upon the questioner for aborting before the completion of forty days with her husband's permission, given her condition and to complete the suckling of the previous child.
