The ruling on preventing pregnancy if the doctor informs of its harm to the mother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a woman says that the doctor informed her that pregnancy will affect her liver function and her bones, and he asked her to stop getting pregnant. Is that permissible for her?
Answer:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2] And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, there is no doubt that a person is commanded to avoid danger and confirmed harm, and not to burden himself with something from which he fears for his life. Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Baqarah 2:195] And Allah the Exalted said: [An-Nisa 4:29] So, if the trustworthy doctors determine that the pregnancy will harm the mother or endanger her life, she takes what prevents pregnancy until this harm and danger are removed. Yes.
