Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on birth control, which is using pills to prevent pregnancy, and the woman waits two years between each child?
Answer:
This has two cases. The first case is if the intention is to escape having many children, then it is not permissible. But if the intention is that her health cannot withstand consecutive pregnancies, one pregnancy after another, then she takes a temporary contraceptive until she is strong enough to bear a child, and there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
