Is is allowed to go to a female gynecologist for medical checkups that includes her examining the private area?
Seyed Ali Shobayri

Bismillah, 

Asalamu Alaykom, 

If one needs to expose their private parts to a doctor for necessary medical reasons then it is permissible. Of course one should only show the part which is absolutely necessary and not more than is needed. One should also visit the doctor of the same gender. 

Some ulema also mention for the doctor to look at the private parts via a mirror rather than directly.

Is there any negative impact on the soul of the unborn child due to the sins of the parents during conception and pregnancy?
Zoheir Ali Esmail

Bismillah 

Thank you for your question. The times of conception and pregnancy are of special importance to a child's soul and so the sins of the parents during that time do have a negative impact. And Allah knows best.

I am 8 weeks pregnant and my husband wants me to abort the baby, or else he will leave me, because he feels he is not yet ready to have kids. Both our families have tried but failed to convince him. What should I do?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Allah says in Quran ( And your Lord creates whatever He wills and chooses, no choice have they.) 28:68.

When the zygote is formed, it means that it was created by Allah, so, no one has the right to terminate the pregnancy. Your husband has no right to kill this embryo by abortion. You need to tell him that he  should not object on the Wisdom and Mercy of Allah which created this embryo. No one knows what is the future of this child but Allah who created it.

Abortion is type of killing of a human being and it is a major sin and has a penalty called  Diyah like the penalty of killing. The only case in which abortion can be allowed is when the life of the mother is in danger because f the pregnancy and there was no way to save the life of the mother but only by abortion.

Wassalam.
