Dar Al-Iftaa opposes banning abortion for Down syndrome fetuses
The Egyptian Dar Al-Iftaa confirmed that abortion of fetuses diagnosed with Down syndrome is not legally permissible and is considered an infringement on human life, which Allah has honored. They specified that the only exception permitted by Islamic law is when the pregnancy poses a confirmed and imminent danger to the mother's life, based on a specialized medical report. The Dar also called for supporting the families of children with special needs, emphasizing that societal pressures to abort such fetuses are unacceptable, and that the child with the condition could be a means for their parents to enter Paradise.
