What is the ruling on family planning?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I hope you will give us a comprehensive explanation of the issue of family planning, and what is the solution for one who wants a specific number of children so that their future is secured, especially if their father is poor? The future.

Answer:
My brother, it is in the hand of Allah. Allah does not create a soul without writing its provision, so their provision is in the hand of Allah. Do not have a bad opinion of Allah. This is the work of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah); they are the ones who killed their children out of fear of poverty, killing them out of fear of poverty and fear of destitution. So have a good opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and their provision is upon Allah, not upon you. But this is propaganda from the people of disbelief that they have planted among the Muslims, and it has deceived those with weak minds and weak faith. So give birth and rely upon Allah, and increase in offspring. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Marry those who are fertile"
for I shall outnumber the peoples by youفإني مكاثر بكم الأمم
Sunan Abi Dawud 2050Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani)
and do not worry about provision; this is in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and the future is in the hand of Allah. Allah (Mighty and Majestic), yes. So I hope you will reject this propaganda and fight against it, yes.
