abortion is permissable in Islam if it is therapeutic. Rape unfortunately is a bad thing to happen in the first palce but I think Islam would not allow loss of a life for this reason, peace to you all

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has forgiven for my ummah for their mistakes, what they forget and what they are forced to do.” (Narrated by Ibn Maajah in al-Talaaq, 2033; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah, 1664).
The Muslim woman who has fallen prey to a rapist will be rewarded for bearing this calamity with patience, if she seeks reward with Allaah for the harm that has befallen her. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No stress or exhaustion befalls the Muslim, nor worry or distress, even a thorn which pricks him, but Allaah will expiate for his sins because of that.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim).
2 – Young Muslim men should hasten to marry women such as these who have been tormented, so as to reduce their suffering and console them, to compensate them for the loss of the most precious thing that they possess, which is their virginity.
3 – With regard to their having abortions – the basic principle concerning abortion is that it is haraam and is not allowed from the moment of conception when it becomes a new being and is “placed in a place of safety” [cf. al-Mursalaat 77:21], i.e., the womb, even if this being is the result of a haraam relationship such as zinaa. In the case of the Ghaamidi woman who had confessed to zina and thus the punishment of stoning became obligatory, the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told her to go away until after she had given birth, then after she had given birth, he told her to go away until the child was weaned.
4 – There are some fuqahaa’ who think that it is permissible to have an abortion within the first forty days of pregnancy. Some of them even permit it until before the soul is breathed into the embryo. The stronger the excuse, the clearer the reason for the concession is, and if that is within the first forty days it is, this means that the concession is more appropriate.

Religion should always be second to the wants of the woman.
Yes abortion is permissible because no one else needs to know.
BUT... remember the child is part of you and that fate is fate and the man that created the baby has nothing to do on how that kid will turn out.
It takes a very special wonderful person to have the baby and for the rest of your life you created something wonderful and good out of something that was bad.

If a child is a product of a rape, should that knowledge cause him to kill himself? Our son is adopted and we do not know the details, but we thank God every day for his precious life. I don't know the rules among Muslims, but I think that I know the answer in God's eyes.

No, it is not permissible. Abortion is the intentional ending of a life. It doesn't matter if the woman is muslim, christian, buddist, atheist, jewish or all of the above. Life is life, no matter where you're from or what you believe.

This question can get sticky. I don't believe that a women should have an abortion because she was raped. The child is still part of her, and I know it can be a horrifying experience knowing that the child in your womb is from a rapist, but God can turn a horrifying experience into a very Blessed one.

If you are a minor, no one needs to know. Tell your school teacher you want an abortion and the school has to make the arrangements for you. Don't ask for an aspirin! They have to tell your parents that.

Its a moot point, since a muslim woman is found at fault if she israped, andwill generally be either forced to marry her rapist, or be stoned to death for fornication.
EDIT: Thats if her parents don't practice an honour killing on her first.
EDIT: candygirl, I take it you haven't ever been raped!
