Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu 'Umar from Jeddah, says: What is the difference between limiting and regulating offspring? And what is the ruling on that? May Allah bless you. It is out of fear for the children from the corruption of society?
Answer:
Limiting is not permissible except for an excuse, an excuse that doctors confirm, that her life is in danger from pregnancy. In that case, pregnancy is prevented to preserve her life and avert the danger. As for regulating, if she suffers from frequent consecutive pregnancies and wants the pregnancy to be delayed until there is a need, there is no harm in regulating, if she has a need for regulation due to her health and her ability to bear breastfeeding and custody. If the regulation is for a need, there is no harm. Yes.
