Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says that she is a mother with five sons, and that pregnancy has become very exhausting for her. She suffers from urinary tract diseases, and the doctor has informed her that the child will be deformed or dead. Is it permissible for her to undergo a sterilization procedure to prevent pregnancy?
Answer:
A report from a group of doctors regarding her condition is required. Then, it is to be presented to one of the scholars or to the Ifta Committee. They will examine the doctors' report and issue a ruling for her. As for her permanently preventing pregnancy, this is not permissible for her except with a ruling from a scholarly body based on a report from a group of trusted doctors. The report of a single doctor is not sufficient. Yes.
