Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to practice family planning if the intention is to devote oneself to raising the children?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible except if there is harm to the mother’s health in the succession of children. If the doctors determine that successive pregnancies affect her or may endanger her life, then there is no harm in regulating it until the mother can bear the pregnancy and breastfeeding. As for if it is for any other reason, it is not permissible. Yes.
