Abstract





Entering into the idea of ​​abortion is one of the topics, both ancient and modern, to the point that it has become a global issue related to health care and human rights. It is a controversial topic and the subject of global discussions between supporters and opponents, especially since there are many countries that have permitted abortion of all kinds, and on the other hand, there are those that prohibit and forbid it. The World Health Organization indicates that 45% of abortions around the world are unsafe. In order to address the problem of abortion and its new and renewed issues and to clarify the Islamic position, we chose to research this important topic, comparing it to Iraqi law.


The research began with an introduction that included the importance of the topic, the reason for choosing it, the objectives of the topic, previous studies, its approach and its plan. Then, I discussed the topic in two sections. The first section defined abortion linguistically, terminologically and legally, and abortion before and after the breath of the soul. In the second section we talked about abortion in cases of necessity after the breath of the soul for the sake of the mother and in the case ofAdultery and abortion for the sake of a deformed fetus, mentioning the words of the jurists, their evidence and discussion, giving preference to what the evidence suggested, then I concluded the research with the results I reached through the research. I ask God for acceptance and success.
