• My wife afflicted with Lupus erythematosus which is a very rare disease; yet, at the time being she is pregnant and doctors are of the view that pregnancy forms high risk over her life and might cause death. As we are Muslims thanks to God, we won't make abortion save after having Fatwa from you. Kindly help us.
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.
Abortion is permissible if it was confirmed that the existence of the fetus within his mother's Belly might cause her certain death.
Therefore, abortion is permissible if the above conditions were met. And Allah knows best.
• Is it permissible for a person who had vowed to give a certain amount of money to another, but didn`t find the latter to donate that money to the mosque?
In principle, the vowing person should abide by his vow as much as possible. Therefore, if he couldn`t find the person that he had made the vow for, then the vow itself is countless and nothing is due on its maker. However, if the latter happens to find the former later on then, he has to give him that money.
• Should a person feel pleased, or have a virtuous vision after offering Istikhara(guidance prayer) in order to do what he/she had offered it for?
The result of the Istikhaarah is not necessarily that a person sees something (in his dream), or feels pleased, but the most important result of the Istikhaarah is whether a person is enabled to do a given matter or not.
