Hasan vs. Jafri on Roe vs. Wade

Uzma Jafri
About this episode

Zaiba and Uzma ended up having to have a conversation about abortion, as well as their religious and feminist views on the topic. This is not a scholarly episode, rather a discourse between friends on personal, very individualized choices they would or would not make if they were faced with an unplanned pregnancy as Muslim American moms. 

To get an Islamic opinion on abortion, please talk to your favorite Islamic scholar. You can refer to our September episodes on female Islamic scholarship available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, or Spotify. For more information on abortion in Islam, take a look at the links for resources.
