QUESTION:

Abortion is haram in Islam.  What is the Diyyat to be paid if 
the husband and wife knowingly go ahead with the abortion of the 
foetus without any valid reason ?

ANSWER:

If the foetus is upto:
 
		40 days old, it is 70 gms. gold
            80 days old   -     140 gms. gold
            120 days old   -     210 gms. gold
            160 days old   -     280 gms gold


(If the foetus is) Older than that  (and):

	- if a male child is aborted  3500 gms. gold
	- if a female child is aborted 1750 gms. gold

Plus Istegfar - may Allah forgive us our sins; so that the aborted life may
not seek destitution.
