What is the ruling on a woman taking birth control pills?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman asks: What is the ruling on a woman taking birth control pills?

Answer:
If she needs it, she takes the pills to delay pregnancy, not to terminate a pregnancy. Terminating a pregnancy is not permissible. If she needs to delay pregnancy and the doctor determines that she needs to delay it, there is nothing wrong with it.
