The ruling on tying the womb during pregnancy
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Sister Umm 'Abd al-'Aziz has a question. She says that she is the mother of nine children, and during her ninth pregnancy, she suffered mentally from the pregnancy, so she asked the doctor to perform a cesarean section and a tubal ligation. She says, “I did it without realizing it, and I have regretted it for two years, and I am crying. She says, ‘O Shaykh, I am still afraid of Allah and feel regret. Please advise us on this?’”
Answer:
Yes, she hired someone to tie the womb. If you are in good health, it is not permissible for you to tie the womb, because this prevents pregnancy, which may contain good in the interest of increasing offspring, which is required by the Shari'ah. However, if there is a dire necessity to tie the womb, meaning there was danger to you in this pregnancy,
and the doctors determined that, there is no harm in taking what prevents pregnancy until the cause is removed. If what you did was for an excuse, there is no blame on you for it. If it was without an excuse, it is an error, and you must repent to Allah the Exalted and not return to such an act. If there is a means to remove the tie, you must hasten to remove it.
