I have been separated from my husband for a while due to his family interfering and bullying me this caused a lot of issues and he used to become aggressive I left our home after a while due to my mental health and miscarriage caused by this stress. He blamed me for not ignoring them or being thick-skinned and showed no empathy at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Now I am pregnant again and he has issued an ultimatum I either move back or he will divorce me we live in different towns and he will not move at all and his excuse is why I should?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">I have had such a difficult pregnancy and is a very high risk to myself and have to take regular medication to stop my blood from <\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">clotting even the birth will be high risk- also prior to pregnancy I was having chronic pain issues which were being treated and now I am unable to take medication or necessary treatment due to harm to the baby which means I am in constant chronic pain which is effecting my mental health and also mobility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">My husband is aware of this and isn\u2019t bothered he gives me hardly any money and is asking me to move back or face being a mother alone and divorced. I know I am having this baby at such a risk to my own health and I know being alone will affect me immensely mentally and physically I can\u2019t cope with my mobility and health will affect how I care for this child and have no family support around. Would it be permissible to abort given the risks I feel awful but I know I am already mentally having a breakdown and if I continue I will deteriorate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><u><strong>In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><u><strong>Answer:<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">We ask Allah SWT to ease all the hardships you are facing.

Let\u2019s not mention how difficult it can be when the closest people to you purposely make your life problematic and challenging. Allah SWT is the All-knowing and he knows what one goes through. May Allah SWT also ease the physical and mental pains you are enduring!
