The Shaykh:
This is a question for the doctors. If it prevents pregnancy, then preventing pregnancy is not permissible. Pregnancy is desired.

As for preventing pregnancy without a valid religious excuse and without consulting the doctors, this is not permissible. Yes.

And what is the ruling on the one who uses the treatment regarding the conditions of the answer, meaning, even in the case of ghusl, does it prevent water from reaching? Is it necessary to remove it during ghusl?
The Shaykh:
Yes, except if he needs it. If the one using the patch needs it, then when he performs ghusl, he wipes over it. Wiping over the patch is prescribed, and there is no harm. It suffices in place of washing what is underneath it, if he needs it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
