What of the zygotes that are discarded? They are also fertilised so is it not the same as abortion?

[Umer]

Even if it is termed as abortion, it would still be acceptable if i) it is done within 120 days of conception and ii) there lies a legitimate excuse and a palpable reason to do so.

[A Hasan]

Would it not be better to try one egg at a time as a Muslim? What legitimate excuse is there to kill 4 babies at once? Even abortion at 120 days should be for a reason.

Surely just ‘wanting a child’ isn’t enough

[Umer]

If any such arrangement can be made then it should be done.

Just wanting a child is definitely not a good enough reason but still the severity of this act is less as compared to if done after 120 days (which is equal to murder of a human being).
