Inserting the IUD for Contraception for a Period
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: His wife wants to have an IUD inserted to prevent pregnancy for two or three years. It does not affect her menstruation. She wants this because she is tired of raising children, as they come one after another. His question is: Is it permissible for him to allow her to have this IUD inserted?
The Shaykh:
Is the IUD inserted to prevent menstruation or to prevent pregnancy?
The questioner:
He says to prevent pregnancy.
The Shaykh:
To prevent pregnancy. Yes. If she suffers harm from pregnancy, harm to her body, then she may take what delays pregnancy for her. But if she does not suffer harm, and she is ready for pregnancy, and she only dislikes children and dislikes having many children, as the Westerners advocate, then this is not permissible. This is without an excuse. This IUD, and what they call it, is without an excuse and is not permissible. The IUD or the pills that delay pregnancy are only permissible for an excuse. If her body cannot withstand consecutive pregnancies. This is what is called birth control. Yes.
