The Ruling on a Woman Using Contraception

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to use contraception given her health conditions?

Answer:
Do not use what prevents pregnancy in the sense of terminating a pregnancy; rather, use what delays pregnancy and postpones it until the impediment is removed. Using what delays pregnancy is permissible if it is for a valid purpose, but using what terminates a pregnancy is not permissible except in cases of dire necessity, as determined by doctors. Yes.
