Preventing pregnancy for a woman who has been informed by her doctor that her delivery will be by cesarean section

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A woman was informed by the doctor that she cannot give birth except through a cesarean section. Is it permissible for her to refuse pregnancy, given that she has already had three such operations?

Answer:
This depends on the danger. If there is danger to her from childbirth or from the cesarean section, she may refrain from pregnancy to avoid the danger. However, if there is no danger to her, it is not permissible for her to refrain from pregnancy. Yes.
