Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. This sister, Umm Muram, says: Honorable Shaykh, I am asking about the reward that is recorded for a woman during natural delivery. Is a reward also recorded for a woman when she undergoes a cesarean section? Is the reward the same, or is there a difference?
Answer:
Childbirth involves hardship and danger, and for this reason Allah has magnified the right of the mother[Luqman 31:14] [Al-Ahqaf 46:15]. She is rewarded for the hardship she suffers during childbirth. May Allah reward you with good and bless you.

And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years.
وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَهْنًا عَلَىٰ وَهْنٍ وَفِصَالُهُ فِي عَامَيْنِHis mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship
حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ كُرْهًا وَوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهًا
