Medical Issues: What Is the Blood Money for Aborting a 2.5-Month Fetus — and Who Pays It?
English:
Question #1261:
How much is the blood money for deliberately aborting a fetus of two and a half months and who should pay it?
Answer #1261:
If it is a clot-like structure, the amount of blood money is forty dinars. If it is a flesh-like structure, it becomes sixty dinars but when the fetus enters into the stage of a bone, but without the flesh, the blood money is eighty dinars. The blood money should be paid to the inheritors of the fetus, taking into consideration the classes of inheritors. However, the person to whom the action of aborting is attributed must be denied a share in the inheritance.
