Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 542/542/M=1431)

It is unlawful and haram. It is the practice of jahiliya (pre-Islamic era). Islam does not allow it.

وَلاَ تَقْتُلُواْ أَوْلادَكُمْ خَشْيَةَ إِمْلاقٍ . [الإسراء : 31]

Yes, if four months have not passed on pregnancy, then in some particular and inevitable circumstances it is allowed to abort.

Conducting gender test is not right.
