Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on family planning and birth control?

Answer:
Birth control is not permissible. However, delaying pregnancy for a need, such as a sick woman delaying pregnancy until she recovers or until she weans her infant, is permissible if it is for a valid reason. As for terminating a pregnancy or cutting off reproduction, this is forbidden and not permissible.
