> each of the four sunni islam schools of thought...have their own reservations on if and when abortions are permissible. the maliki school holds that "the fetus is ensouled at the moment of conception," and thus "most malikis do not permit abortion at any point, seeing god's hand as actively forming the fetus at every stage of development."the sahih al-bukhari (book of hadith) writes that the fetus is believed to become a living soul after 120 days' gestation. therefore, some hanafi scholars believe that abortion before the hundred-twenty-day period is over is permitted, though some hanafi scholars teach that an abortion within 120 days is makruh (disapproved, i.e., discouraged).all islamic schools of thought agree abortion is recommended when the mother's life is in danger, because the mother's life is paramount...in shia islam, abortion is "forbidden after implantation of the fertilised ovum." the leader of the iranian islamic revolution, ayatollah khomeini, declared that shari'a forbids abortion without any reason "even at the earliest possible stage"a position shared by other shiite scholars.. "the majority of muslim scholars permit abortion, although they differ on the stage of fetal development beyond which it becomes prohibited."... "while abortion, even during the first trimester, is forbidden according to a minority of jurists, it is not held to be an offense for which there are criminal or even civil sanctions."... > mfw even the goatfuckers have more nuance than yankburgers
