Delaying Pregnancy and Family Planning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We conclude this episode, may Allah bless you, with this question from one of the sisters who says: Is it permissible for me to refrain from or stop having children for more than two lunar years, for the purpose of birth control?
Answer:
It is not permissible to limit the number of children; this is forbidden. However, delaying pregnancy for the sake of a condition or illness that you cannot bear or that makes pregnancy difficult for you, in which case you take what delays it without cutting it off, there is nothing wrong with this out of necessity. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh Salih, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge.
