Hi Wael,
Thanks for everything!
I agree with most of Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi's statement :) Truthfully, I have strong reservations about artificial contraception & any form abortion. I will not budge!
You will be happy to know that I would prefer Muslim women populate the world with more Muslims rather than prevent conception from taking place or seeking abortion at any stage :)
I urge you to talk any woman you know out of having an abortion, under all circumstances (Yes! Including rape - which is a very rare case - less than 1% of abortions performed result from rape! As hard as it is, we need to acknowledge the baby's innocence as well as the miraculous gift of pro-creation).
May Allah open His arms to all the souls that have exited their mother's womb in such an awful way.
God bless.
