It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) referred to a decision of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the issue of killing a fetus, when Sayyiduna Haml bin Malik bin Nabighah (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said: Once I was between two women, one of whom struck the other with a rolling pin or the pole of a tent, due to which the woman and the child in her womb both died. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decided regarding this that“for the child in her womb, a slave should be given to the heirs of the murdered woman, and for the woman, the woman (who struck) should be killed.”The narrator says: I said to Amr that Ibn Tawus narrated this hadith to me from his father in a different way? He said: You have made me doubtful.
