The Ruling on Family Planning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Muhammad Sa'id, a resident of the Kingdom, asking. He says: What is the ruling in Islamic law regarding family planning?
Answer:
Family planning is not permissible because it involves cutting off the line of descent and reducing the number of Muslims. This is a scheme of the disbelievers, and it resembles the actions of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah), when they used to kill their children out of fear of poverty. This is a bad opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Progeny is sought after in Islam, and a large number of offspring is required in Islam, and their provision is upon Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
