Background and aim: Abortion is one of the most important jurisprudential-medical and legal issues, which receives great attention due to the inherent dignity of human beings. Therefore, Islamic jurisprudence, considering the right to life and the inherent dignity of human beings, comprehensively and completely deals with all aspects of abortion, and the only place where abortion is allowed is the conflict between the life of the mother and the life of the fetus, and this is before fetus ensoulment, and it is not permissible to perform abortion after ensoulment. However, considering that the mother is not the only participant in the birth and care of the child, and it is a mutual responsibility that the parents must undertake as a couple, a question is thus raised: Does father's hardship and shame justify abortion?
Materials and methods: To find the answer to the above question, we decided to explain and analyze the viewpoints of jurists and their evidence using the descriptive-analytical method and the collection of documentary-written materials, through the collection of opinions and the comparison of their viewpoints in library references and applications.
Findings: The findings of the research show that the father's hardship and shame does not grant permission for abortion; rather, there must be something more important than the life of the fetus for abortion to be permitted.
Conclusion: By analyzing the views of the jurists, it was found that the father's hardship and shame cannot be a valid reason for granting permission for abortion. For this reason, the point of view of the jurists who consider the hardship and shame of the father as a reason for the permissibility of abortion, can be analyzed and criticized. |
