As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
We have a question that it describes a
situation with a sister who committed adultery with
a non-Muslim and she got pregnant and
she aborted the pregnancy after eight weeks and
she's now very repentant and remorseful about what
happened and she wants to know what to
do to make amends and to make that
go away in a way.
And there's a follow-up question on the
same situation.
It's like the pill the next morning, is
it allowed to be used in Islam, you
know?
Morning after?
Yeah, the morning after, yes.
They call Plan B.
Yeah, okay.
Bismillah alhamdulillah, salatu salam Rasulullah.
First of all, I would like to tell
the sister, congratulations for your tawbah.
Repentance is such a great act of worship
and anyone who returned back to Allah, no
matter how far this person went, Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala welcomed that person with an
open arm.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, if you
walk to me, I will run to you.
No matter how far you were, Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala loves repentance, loves those who
repent to him.
Even Ibn al-Umar rahim Allah said, when
you repent to Allah, you come back to
a state and a place higher than what
you were before committing the sin.
So, I want you to know that don't
ever give up on the mercy of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
You know, don't think about this sin in
a sense that it is the end of
the world.
No, it was an opportunity for you for
a new beginning.
You're regretting it and every time you remember
it and you regret it, that's initiating a
new tawbah because in Nabi salallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, regret is a form of tawbah.
So, every time you regret it, you feel,
you know, that's a new tawbah for you
and the pure tawbah, perfect tawbah, it means
you regret it, you are determined not to
go back to it, you understand why you
have done this haram, how did you fall
into this haram and how you were able
to and how you will protect yourself from
falling into this haram in the next, inshallah,
in the future.
So, it will not be a tawbah if
you repent, but you still hang out with
boys and guys and alone and you travel
with them or you go to the hotel
room where they will go drink and like
party with men.
That's not a tawbah.
There has to be thummahtada that Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala said, when they repent, they
guided, they changed their way of life.
There is a clear change in your life
and that's what really a tawbah nasuh is
all about.
So, if you have that and you do
this sincerely for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
not because you're afraid of being exposed or
anything of that nature, that something inshallah ta
'ala will only elevate your status with Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And don't keep thinking about what happened in
a negative sense.
Make this an opportunity for you to grow,
not just to beat yourself up and for
the sake of putting yourself down.
No, I did something bad, terrible, horrible.
I will learn from it.
I move forward.
I always remember that I'm weak and I'm
not going to fall into that, the trap
of the shaitan again.
Allah says, wa la taqrabu al zina, don't
come near to adultery.
As for aborting the pregnancy, as long as
the pregnancy is less than 120 days, what
you did is acceptable.
Not necessarily the best of choice, but for
many would say that it would be permissible
for you to do so.
Let's say if it's after 120 days and
a person committed abortion, that's a sin required,
a toba from it.
And also there is a penalty for that
by killing Saul.
And since not this is the case, there
is more detail into this.
As for the morning after pill, is it
allowed to be used?
It is allowed to use this type of
form of a pill if you want to,
to ensure that there is no pregnancy, if
there is no pregnancy, but you have to
consult a doctor about how safe it is
for you to use it.
