Nouman Ali Khan – Abortion – That’s Messed Up

			So Mike,
		

			how's it going, man? What's up nowadays? not enjoying the weather.
		

			I was enjoying the weather until I got a question.
		

			People we've messed up, dude,
		

			this lady emails me and says she's expecting Mashallah. And her husband tells her that we can't
afford a baby. So we should abort.
		

			Like, how he could say that I don't understand, like, we don't have risk is not the time and he's
even dropping some religious justification in there. Subhana Allah, and he says things like, you
know, in the first few months, the angel hasn't blown in the soul to the baby, it's not really a
human. So it's all good. I think if of all of this is
		

			I'm not in a position to get fatwas, right. And I'm never going to do that. But first of all, to
cite that we cannot afford this child. And then of course, all the other religious justifications
are later, the real reason is the guy wants, doesn't want to spend money. Right? So for money, he's
willing to take a human life. That's what he's willing to do, which is the most absurd offensive
thing. And it's particularly mentioned in the Quran, something the missionary Kuhn used to do what
are called min m lab, and harshita. amla, don't kill your children, because you're poor because of
bankruptcy. And don't kill your children, because in the future, you're afraid of becoming bankrupt.
		

			Now, nosocomial er home, we're the ones we provide you and we provide them.
		

			And what's missing is, but now the thing is in that ayah,
		

			if you violate it, if you violate that item, then you violated the entire,
		

			you know, that means that a law will stop providing you.
		

			You blocked Allah's way of providing to this child, and you ended up killing this child because you
thought they're not you're not going to be able to provide for them. And the last thing, what did
you think you provide for them?
		

			I do, like, I'd love to get credit for it himself. And if you deny that, then you're denying your
own road to this, I get this person so seriously scared about money, they should be really scared of
even even suggest this idea. And for the you know, the sister, I haven't responded to her yet. But
what I would probably tell her is that she needs to hold her ground. And she needs to, you know,
this is her baby. And this is a gift that Allah has given her and no husband has a right to say
that. Husbands do not have the right to say that. That is just absolutely wrong. I don't know where
they get the idea that they have the right. You know, this is a Subhanallah it's a life that Allah
		

			owns. Not us. We don't have a say, and we really don't, you know, so milazzo don't make the
situation of these kinds of women easy, man this. Sometimes wives are messed up. And sometimes
husbands are like, epic master. So what about situations where, you know, some some people, it's not
married, maybe someone
		

			was abused? And then they ended up conceiving? I mean, how do you
		

			that's a completely different situation. But even then the concept, the idea of abortion is
something else. It should be said about those kinds of cases that our child should not be considered
curse, because that's what society does, right? allowed us and I and this and that. And
		

			the that's not that's not an Islamic concept, to consider that this child is legitimate, and
therefore they, they are treated less than others on Western society. That's not a problem, marriage
out of wedlock, and children out of wedlock. But in eastern society, traditional religious cultures,
Muslims included, it's a major, major problem, right? Now Xena itself is really bad, or * or
whatever may have happened. That's a crime. And that's dealt with separately. But this child is not
supposed to pay the price of somebody else's crime. They're not supposed to as traumatic admit that
maybe for the mother. You know, it's this child does not serve and I'm not talking about abortion,
		

			because I don't know that's a separate issue. But what I am talking about is just that child should
not be stigmatized. And the overarching principle that protects that child from being stigmatized is
one statement from a loved one. One saying says it all what are called karma Bunny, Adam. We honored
all children of Adam.
		

			That child is also a child of Adam, which means they're dignified by Allah.
		

			Which means at a certain point in the pregnancy, a rule came and was blown into that child also. And
was also from Allah. You know, unless entered.
		

			Angels also descend on these these mothers, right? Yeah. So that's not something we can take away
from. You know, there's the complicated side of this problem, which is
		

			You know, the the the abortion itself? Yeah. Right. Which I personally don't see how you can justify
but there may be arguments. I don't know. I don't know them and that's something for people deal
with but the the moral side of this and the way you know what's what's in the best interest of this
baby? That's a separate problem altogether. So ultimately the husband doesn't have the right to tell
the wife and that's her body and that's it her choice. Yeah, yeah.
		

			Yeah, we'll help the Muslims when I mean
		

			See you next time. Ciao.
