The Use of Birth Control Pills by a Woman for Whom Pregnancy Is Burdensome
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And this questioner says: She is a woman who has six children by the grace of Allah the Exalted, and she desires to become pregnant again, but she says that during pregnancy she becomes very tired throughout the entire period of pregnancy. Is it permissible for her to take pills to prevent pregnancy?
Answer:
If the burden is too great to bear, there is no harm, otherwise it is better not to take the pills, because the pills may harm her. And the more children there are, the better it is, as they benefit them. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged the expiation of the community's sins, so the best and most cautious course is to trust in Allah, for the harm is [incontradictory to] the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
