From the Paper:

"Islamic law permits abortion when a mother's health is in imminent danger or if the mother stops lactating for another child during the first 120 days of gestation. Rape is also another reason for having an abortion. Birth control is permissible if the prescribed method has no adverse effect on the health of either spouse and does not lead to permanent sterilization."
