Family planning with the intention of devoting oneself to raising children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is family planning permissible with the intention of devoting oneself to raising children, such as spacing it out every two years so that he raises only one child?
Answer:
This is not permissible except in the case where the wife cannot carry a pregnancy due to illness, or because having many children is burdensome for her, in which case she spaces out the pregnancies. As for spacing out pregnancies for the sake of work or a job, that is not permissible. It is permissible if the woman's health condition requires it, and if her condition is good for accepting a pregnancy, then intervening is not permissible.
