As per many scholars, there are specific views on this, but more importantly, you must consult both a religious guide you trust and your doctor to make an informed and safe decision.

It's a very personal decision and can be emotionally heavy. Whatever you decide, please make sure you consult a doctor first so your physical recovery is safe and handled gently.

I can't speak on the religious side, but practically speaking, whatever choice you make, do it safely under a proper gynecologist's supervision. Don't go for any over-the-counter pills on your own!

I know making these decisions can feel very overwhelming right now. Just take some time, speak to your family or a professional, and do what is best for your health and future.

Savita Lahiri · Answer

I am not sure about the exact religious ruling, but when I faced a difficult health situation, I only took advice from my gynac to ensure everything was done safely.
