The ruling on preventing a woman from becoming pregnant out of concern for her safety
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, my wife and I work together and we love children. I have had a son and a daughter, and we wanted to limit ourselves to them. She wanted to have another child, so I prevented her from becoming pregnant out of concern for her regarding cesarean sections. Please tell us about this.
Answer:
You are wrong in this, and it is not permissible for you to prevent pregnancy or to have a bad opinion that it will be difficult or that operations will occur. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, makes things easy. Have a good opinion of Allah, and let the woman bear the child. This is beneficial for you and for her, and it is also required by the Shari'ah. Yes.
