The Fetus Rights in Islam

[wel_mel_2]

Bismillah:

Abortion is strictly banned & never acceptable for Catholics (& Christians in general, I hope).

You mean Abortion <i>"banned from the Bible"?</i>


i remember, King Solomon makes the point that much of life is useless in Ecclesiastes. Over and over he writes that if life is good then we should be thankful. But when life is not good, <b>Solomon makes some interesting statements:</b>


<b>Ecclesiastes 6:3-5 </b>


6:3 If a man fathers a hundred {children} and lives many years, however many they be, but his soul is not satisfied with good things and he does not even have a {proper} burial, {then} I say, <b>"Better the miscarriage than he, </b>



6:4 for it comes in futility and goes into obscurity; and its name is covered in obscurity.



6:5 "It never sees the sun and it never knows {anything;} it is better off than he.


Solomon makes the point that it is <b>sometimes better to end a pregnancy prematurely than to allow it to continue into a miserable life</b>. this concept was made even clearer in some other verses which i might quote later insha'Allah.
