Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The doctors have decided that pregnancy harms her. She ties them, using whatever prevents pregnancy; there is nothing wrong with that. All methods of contraception cause her harm. Is it permissible for her to undergo the procedure they call tying to stop pregnancy permanently?
Answer:
Nothing contradicts this. He says permanently. If it harms her, and the doctors said it harms her—meaning, for example, she sleeps in the hospital, they grow her in the hospital, her blood pressure rises, and the husband is satisfied? There is no problem.
