The Ruling on Family Planning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu 'Ammar, says: My wife had a cesarean section for childbirth twice. The first child died, and the second is alive. We want to remain with this child and limit ourselves to this child. What is the position of Islam on this?
Answer:
This is not permissible. Limiting the number of children and cutting off procreation is not permissible unless the doctors determine that pregnancy causes the death of the woman. If they determine that it causes her death, then the number of children is limited and pregnancy is stopped for her in order to preserve her life. Yes.
