Question:
May Allah reward you with good. He says: I gave my wife pills to prevent pregnancy due to her health conditions; what is the ruling? Pills to prevent pregnancy
Answer:
There is a distinction here. If it is to delay pregnancy because the woman is ill or cannot bear the burden of pregnancy at the present time, and she wants to delay the pregnancy until another time when she is ready to accept it, then there is no harm. Taking pills to delay pregnancy is permissible when there is a need. However, if the pills terminate the pregnancy, then it is not permissible to take them except in cases of dire necessity. If the pregnancy would take her life if she became pregnant, then it is permissible for her to take what terminates the pregnancy, because this is a case of dire necessity. Yes.
