Abstract: This perspective aims at introduction of a new criterion for fetal personhood based on Shii’a thought. Although there is a known idea in Islamic Shii’a jurisprudence which identifies end of fourth month of pregnancy as the moment of acquiring personhood, this paper suggests end of third month as the point at which the fetus has to be considered human person.
