Question:
What is the ruling on family planning out of a specific necessity of mine, and using contraceptive pills to prevent pregnancy?
Answer:
It is not permissible to limit the number of children in any way. However, it is permissible to delay pregnancy for the sake of the woman’s health, or so that she can devote herself to raising the children, if they are too many for her to manage in their upbringing, or for other valid reasons. This is called delaying pregnancy or regulating pregnancy. As for terminating a pregnancy and limiting oneself to a specific number, that is not permissible. Yes.
