Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Every Muslim knows that the enemies of Islam are angered by that blessed rock, which has led them to intensify their efforts to combat it. Among these efforts is the campaign for family planning. Regrettably, this issue has become a commonplace matter among women under flimsy excuses such as studying, working, and raising children. What is your esteemed opinion on this serious issue?
Answer:
The issue of family planning has been written about extensively by many scholars and specialists. They have refuted and rejected this idea, explaining to people that it is a plot and that it is forbidden. It is a scheme of the enemies. It is not permissible for Muslims to be deceived by it, because the enemies want to reduce the number of Muslims and weaken the Muslims. Therefore, it is not permissible for Muslims to be influenced by this propaganda. Rather, they should seek to increase their offspring and the number of births. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged marrying women who bear many children, and he said, "I will outnumber the nations with you on the Day of Resurrection." Also, in the increase of offspring, the increase in the number of Muslims, the strength of the Muslims, and the increase in production and workers and those who are employed, there is what strengthens the Muslims. Therefore, family planning is not permissible. It is not justified for some to use as an excuse that a woman wants to get a job or wants to work, and that children hinder her. All of this is the propaganda of the disbelievers. The only and fundamental work of a woman is pregnancy, childbirth, raising children, and household affairs. This is her fundamental work. If she has some spare time, there is no harm in her working outside the home, provided she maintains modesty and covers herself. She may work outside the home if she has time after attending to her children and her household duties. However, the foundation is working in the home and raising children. This is the foundation, and it is a beautiful task that only women can perform. Yes.
