The Ruling on Taking Birth Control Pills
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is the ruling on some women taking contraceptive pills upon marriage, either without their husband's permission, or because they fear not being blessed with children, meaning they fear being divorced? Is this consistent with reliance upon Allah?
Answer:
It is not permissible to take contraceptive pills. Pills that terminate a pregnancy entirely are not permissible to take. As for pills that delay pregnancy, they are not permissible to take without the husband's permission, because pregnancy is the husband's right. Pregnancy is the husband's right, so a woman is not permitted to take anything that delays pregnancy without her husband's permission.
