Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question about the ruling on selling birth control pills. Birth control pills are not dispensed except with a doctor's report.

Answer:
It is not permissible for a pharmacist to dispense them except by a doctor's order. If the doctor determines that this woman needs these pills for health reasons, he may sell them to her. However, if the woman comes without a doctor's report, without a doctor's order, it is not permissible for him to sell them to her.
