The Ruling on Taking Birth Control Pills
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman from France who says: My husband ordered me to take birth control pills and does not want me to stop taking them, thinking that children are preventing us from emigrating to a Muslim country. I advise him to rely on Allah, but he argues that Satan is whispering to me and that I want to stay in France for a while to gather money before emigrating. What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
This is not cutting off the lineage. If it were cutting off the lineage, that would be what is not permissible. But if it is delaying pregnancy to another time out of need, there is nothing wrong with it. If delaying pregnancy is for a need, there is nothing wrong with it. But cutting it off, that is not permissible. Yes.
