Q:
Hi, I am a Muslim and I got pregnant by a non-Muslim and chose to have an abortion. I know there is no way to make this right. I do ask Allah for forgiveness as often as I can. I just want to know what will happen to my aborted baby and if I have to do anything else – like give to charity (diya). I pray as often as I can and have tried to be a better Muslim since I have sinned. Is there anything else I can do?
A:
You have indeed been guilty of the gravest sins; however, there is no reason for you to despair of Allah’s mercy – provided you are determined to seek repentance and take steps to redeem yourself. I would urge you not to give up your efforts in expiating for your sins.
