The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says that she uses the copper IUD, which is used to prevent pregnancy so that it becomes regular
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
She says that she uses the copper IUD, which is used to prevent pregnancy. She says she uses it to regulate her cycle. What is the ruling on her using it for this purpose only?
The Shaykh:
If her intention is to prevent pregnancy, that is not permissible. As for her intention being to delay pregnancy because she cannot bear it at the present time, so she delays it, there is no harm in delaying pregnancy, delaying procreation, for the sake of need. As for cutting off procreation, that is forbidden and not permissible. Yes.
