The aforementioned hadith is weak because its chain of narration includes Umayr ibn Ishaq, and he is the only one who reported this account. Scholars have differed regarding his reliability; some have deemed him "acceptable" (maqbul), meaning his narration is accepted if corroborated by others, but if he narrates alone, his hadith is considered "weak" (layyin al-hadith). Furthermore, the hadith does not apply to modern abortions performed using medication or suction, as these procedures do not require incising the abdomen.
