Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a woman gave birth to two of her children via cesarean section and was exhausted by it. Is she permitted to use a contraceptive for five years, or not?
Answer:
We have two matters: the matter of delaying pregnancy and the matter of preventing pregnancy. As for delaying pregnancy, it is permissible out of need. If she takes something that delays her pregnancy so that she can prepare for it and her body becomes strong, or so that she can wean her child, there is nothing wrong with that, out of need. As for what cuts off pregnancy, this is not permissible unless the doctors determine that the pregnancy is a danger to her life. If the doctors determine that the pregnancy is a danger to her life, there is no harm in taking what cuts off pregnancy in order to preserve her life. Yes. Ah.
