        The purpose of the present study is to conduct jurisprudential-judicial research about abortion because of rape relying on Sunni and Shi'ite perspectives. The method of research is descriptive-analytic and the results showed that there is a big difference between a woman who becomes pregnant as a result of rape and other women who have become pregnant with full freedom so Sunni and Shi'ite jurists and Islamic law regard no ban for abortion in case of rape and it is permissible, especially before the embryo's soul is formed. Based on jurisprudential regulations, negation of difficulty and distress, and convenience of religion, a woman should be allowed to get an abortion to remove the difficulty and sever agony out of rape as well as the shame of having a baby as a result of that while she has had no free will in this regard.
