Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a wife to prevent pregnancy permanently without her husband's permission?

Answer:
This is not permissible, and it is not permissible for the husband to allow the prevention of pregnancy unless the pregnancy poses a danger to the woman's life, if the trustworthy doctors determine that if this woman becomes pregnant, it will be a danger to her life. In that case, pregnancy is prevented to preserve her life. As for any other case, preventing pregnancy is not permissible, and terminating a pregnancy is not permissible.
