Ruling on Abortion Before Four Months

Question
Is it permissible for a 6-week pregnant woman, for health reasons related to the mother, who is 40 years old, suffers from varicose veins, and cannot bear the pregnancy, to have an abortion?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: Abortion is permissible for less than 120 days, even for any excuse, and what you mentioned is an excuse; therefore, there is no dislike for her in having an abortion, and God knows best.
