The Ruling on Family Planning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I move on to this questioner, Ahmad Sa'id from al-Hafar al-Batin, who says: What is the ruling on family planning? And are there cases that oblige a person to practice family planning if he has few children?
Answer:
This is not permissible. This is a bad opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Limiting the number of children is required, except if there is harm to the mother from consecutive pregnancies. In that case, she may take what delays pregnancy, but she may not take what terminates the pregnancy. As for taking what regulates the pregnancy due to the harm that befalls her, there is no harm in that. Yes.
