Abstract AR
امرأة مسلمة حامل في الأسبوع 16 تم إعلامها بأن فحص الموجات فوق الصوتية للجنين بين وجود السننة المشقوقة, و النتائج المخبرية أكدت التشخيص.
و أن الطفل سيعاني من عدة مضاعفات و في الأغلب سيحتاج لعناية طبية مدى الحياة.
بموافقة الزوج تم إقرار إنهاء الحمل.
هذا القرار أثار جدلا بين علماء الدين في المجتمع, شرارة الجدل كانت بين من هم موافقين على الإجهاض لأسباب طبية و بين معارضين له لأي سبب.
هذه الورقة تقدم عرض الحجج و براهين فلسفية و طبية عن المعارضين للإجهاض و المناصرين له و كذلك نظرة الإسلام تجاه استقلال المرأة على جهازها التناسلي, حرمة الجنين, الإجهاض العلاجي و وقت نفخ الروح.
Abstract EN
A Muslim woman in her sixteenth week of pregnancy was informed that her ultrasound scan showed spina bifida, and laboratory results confirmed the diagnosis.
The child would have various complications and, most probably, would need medical care for life.
With the consent of her husband she decided to terminate the pregnancy.
Her decision sparked controversy among Muslim clerics in her community, sparking debate between those who would allow abortion for medical reasons and those who oppose abortion for any reason.
This paper will review the philosophical and theological arguments of the pro-life and pro-choice groups as well as the Islamic perspective concerning a woman’s autonomy over her reproductive system, the sanctity of the fetus and the embryo, therapeutic abortion, and ensoulment.
