Civil responsibility of remedial abortion

Although abortion is regarded as an evil and indecent act according to the holy shariah and the human societies, but in cases of contradiction between a mother`s health and her fetus`s life, based on lots of the jurisprudents` opinion, the mother is authorized to prefer her health. In spite of permission for an destruction of fetus, civil liability of remedial abortion is a problematic question. In this regard, following some great scholars` outlooks, the lawmaker has issued an opinion of extinction of liability.
Reviewing the absoluteness of the traditions in connection with the liability of diya for abortion is considered as one of most sensitive and difficult points of this subject. The method of taking absoluteness, accepting and refusing absoluteness of ahval (states) in these traditions is one of the prominent effective discussions in implication of these evidence. With analyzing appearance of the evidence, an enough assurance regarding taking absoluteness from these traditions will not be acquired. Though lack of their implication is not reliable, but lack of appearance is enough for disproving it. The only evidence is the practical principles of istishāb and barā`ah which determines the first principle in diyat and liabilities (blood moneys and zimānāt). This principle can be a proof of non- responsibility for remedial abortion.
