This article explores some ethico-legal issues regarding the termination of pregnancy as a result of B-thalassemia, with concentration on what Maqasid ash-Shariah has offered complementarily to the ethical framework. Thus, the study is greatly important, because it is concerned with one of the contemporary issues given much attention by the specialists in the fields of medicine and Islamic law.
