The ruling on a woman taking contraceptive medication without her husband's knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on a woman who took medication to prevent pregnancy, and her husband did not know about it until a period of time had passed?
Answer:
It is not permissible for her to do so unless she informs her husband, consults him, and takes his opinion, because pregnancy is for the benefit of everyone. So she should not take anything that prevents pregnancy, meaning delays pregnancy, except with her husband's consent. As for taking something that prevents pregnancy permanently, this is not permissible unless the doctor determines that pregnancy poses a danger to her life. Yes.
