Abortion resulting from rape creates a conflict between the fetus's right to life and the mother's psychological health. Some studies, citing the rules of negation of hardship (nafy-e 'usr wa haraj) and no-harm (lā ḍarar) as secondary rulings, permit abortion due to the mother's psychological harms (e.g., suicide risk or honor killing). This research, using a descriptive-analytical method and drawing on jurisprudential, legal, and bioethical sources, critically argues that these rules—given their gracious (imtinānī) nature and limited scope in prescriptive rulings—cannot override the fetus's irrevocable right to life, which is grounded in Qur'an 5:32, the rule that "the blood of a Muslim shall not be shed in vain," and numerous traditions. Moreover, ending the fetus's life for the father's crime violates the principle of individual responsibility (Qur'an 6:164) and international obligations (CRC Article 6, with Iran's reservation). The main innovation is a jurisprudential model for fully compensating the mother's hardship without abortion, based on rules of benevolence (iḥsān), liability (itlāf), no-harm in compensation, and conflict resolution (tazāhum) by prioritizing the more important (ahamm)—preserving fetal life. The study proposes concrete solutions: a fund for rape victims, specialized religiously-approved counseling centers, accelerated judicial proceedings, and limited amendments to Article 1167 of the Civil Code to reduce discrimination against the child, all while upholding the prohibition of abortion.
