The Ruling on a Woman Using the IUD

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on a woman using the IUD if she is affected by pregnancy?

Answer:
If she needs it and suffers severe harm from pregnancy, there is no objection to using the IUD to remove the harm, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
It was narrated from 'Ubadah bin Samit that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ruled: “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.”لا ضرر ولا ضرار
Sunan Ibn Majah 2340Da'if (Darussalam)
Yes. However, if she uses it out of aversion to pregnancy, this is not permissible, because pregnancy is desired. Therefore, no one is permitted to prevent pregnancy except out of dire necessity. Yes.
