The answer

The questioner must repent to Allah Almighty for the sin of abortion.

She also owes the diyah (blood money) for the fetus, which is one-tenth of the mother's diyah, estimated at approximately 213 grams of gold.

Expiation (kaffarah) is not required of the questioner because the abortion occurred before the ensoulment, as the fetus was in its second month and one week.
