Abortion is not as cut clear in Islam as it is in Catholicism or christianity. There is a lot of difference of opinion and wiggle room in Islam about the topic. Various classical and esteemed islamic scholars have stated that abortion is allowed withing 120 days, some have set that it is only possible in case of rape and in case of harm to the mother ( in the last situation the 120 day requirement is even let down)
