The answer

The majority of scholars permit abortion before the insufflation of the soul, while some forbid it absolutely, and others permit it before forty days. The questioner is allowed to adopt the fatwa of those who permit abortion, given her circumstances which might ruin her life. She must offer sincere repentance for fornication. Her marriage is valid and is not affected by what she has done.
