The ruling on inserting an IUD to prevent pregnancy

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman to have an IUD inserted to prevent pregnancy on the grounds that her son is very young, only one year old, so that she can care for him?

Answer:
Preventing pregnancy is not permissible unless a group of trusted, specialized doctors determines that pregnancy will cause her clear harm or threaten her with death; in that case, she is permitted to prevent pregnancy. As for preventing pregnancy merely for the sake of raising children, or to space out the offspring as they say, or to avoid having too many children, none of these matters are permissible.
It is not permissible unless the doctors determine that she will suffer clear harm from consecutive pregnancies that may lead to her death; in that case, preventing pregnancy is permissible to avert the harm. As for these mere claims that have appeared among people today, due to the rumors spread by disbelievers who want to reduce the number of Muslims and prevent Muslim women from becoming pregnant so that the Muslims will be wiped out and their numbers will decrease, this is one of the enemy’s schemes. In fact, in countries where there are Muslims and they are in control, they sterilize women and give them drugs that cut off their pregnancies as a form of malice toward the Muslims, so one must be aware of this.
