Is it permissible to use birth control pills if the doctor recommends them?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Now, the second question, Shaykh: Is it permissible to use contraceptives if the female doctor has advised this, because the woman suffers harm from repeated pregnancies?
The Shaykh : The female doctor who recommended the birth control pills is not actually a doctor. Because it is well known among doctors that the chances of preventing pregnancy are harmful, and that they cause major defects that may lead to fetal deformities.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : As is the case now, women constantly complain of fetal deformities, so do not use these pills.
The questioner : Reasons.
The Shaykh : If it turns out that the matter is true and the woman has reached a state where she cannot tolerate pregnancy, other things are used, such as tying the mouth of the uterus for a certain period. Do you do this?
The questioner : That is the IUD.
The Shaykh : The IUD of this type is permissible if there is a need for it. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
