The ruling on tying the womb after giving birth to five children

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, my wife has given birth to four children and lost one, and she has been pregnant consecutively every year. Is it permissible for her to have her womb tied after the fifth child, given that she is currently pregnant and desires another pregnancy, because she sometimes uses pills to sustain the pregnancy so that it does not end in miscarriage?

Answer:
Who can guarantee that the five, six, or ten children will remain? They may die, or they may be afflicted with what befalls them. As long as she is capable of bearing children, she should leave the matter to Allah; for this is a blessing. Perhaps He will grant her righteous offspring who will be the delight of her eyes. Unless there is a medical complication that prevents her from carrying a pregnancy, or it is difficult for her, or there is danger to her from it. This requires a report from the doctors. If the doctors determine that she needs the procedure, the report should be sent with the question to the Ifta department, and they will look into it. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
