Taking contraceptive pills for the hardship of pregnancy
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
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 hardship is great and cannot be borne, there is no harm; otherwise, it is better not to take the pills because they may harm her in the future, and the more children there are, the better it is and the more benefit they bring. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged women to have many children, so the best and safest course is not to take the pills unless they cause harm.
