Thank you for your question. I would recommend that you contact the office of your Marja with the specifics of your case. Although the usual ruling is that it is not allowed (and this will be applicable in most circumstances and is also the applicable rule according to the limited information you have given here), there have been exceptions for when the woman who has become pregnant in a mutah marriage is allowed to abort before 4 months when the difficulty she would face from being accused would have been too much for her to bear and there is absolutely no other way that an abortion can be avoided (like traveling to another place and having the baby). I am posting the ruling from the office of Sayyid Sistani (hA) below which is in Arabic for further reference:

السؤال: امرأة حملت بعقد زواج منقطع وتخشى على سمعتها والعار، وخاصة من أهلها ومعارفها، فهل يجوز لها إسقاط الجنين قبل الأشهر الأربعة أو حتى بعدها؟

الجواب: أمّا قبل ولوج الروح فيه فإن كان ما تواجهه من الحرج بسبب انكشاف أمرها بحدٍّ لا يُتحمّل عادة ولم يكن هناك طريق للمنع من ذلك - ولو بأن تسافر إلى أيِّ بلد آخر وتسكن فيه حتى تضع الحمل - جاز لها الإجهاض، وأما بعد ولوج الروج فلا يجوز الاجهاض مطلقا حتى على الاحوط اذا كانت تتضرر أو تقع في حرج شديد من بقائه.

May you always be successful.

Bismihi ta'ala

No, it is not allowed, and both parties must be responsible towards the pregnancy and their child. This is the least of moral commitment the man has towards her and their baby as well.

With prayers for your success.  

It is not called Kaffara but Diyyah. Diyyah is a penalty on the person who kills or injures  someone else. It goes to the inheritors of the victim who did not take part in the sinful act itself (abortion).

Deliberate terminating of pregnancy is a sinful act. The Diyyah depends on the age of the embryo. In your case of 11 weeks , the Diyyah is two hundred and ten Mithqal of silver. Every Mithqal is 4.64 grams.

Wassalam.

It is not called Kaffara but Diyyah.

For deliberately aborting of 11 weeks embryo, the Diyyah is 210 Mithqal of silver. Every Mithqal is 4.64 grams.

The Diyyah or its value must be given to the inheritors of the embryo who did not take part in the act of abortion.

Wassalam.
