Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the use of contraceptive pills, and likewise the use of condoms, to be judged by the ruling on 'azl?

Answer:
The condom is 'azl, yes. As for the pills, one should consult a doctor about them. If the pills do not terminate the pregnancy, but only delay it out of necessity, then there is no harm. One may delay pregnancy for a woman out of necessity, such as to nurse her infant, or because she is ill and cannot bear repeated pregnancies in close succession. She may take what regulates her pregnancy; this is permissible after consulting a doctor. Yes.
