Spacing out pregnancies out of fear of harm
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe, O Shaykh. If she is not harmed, but she fears harm on the side of the pregnancy, is it permissible for her to wait two to four years?
The Shaykh:
This is doubt. Doubt does not permit her to do this. As long as her health is strong and she is fit for pregnancy, she should carry the child, and praise be to Allah. Pregnancy is sought.
Another questioner:
And what about the father of the child?
The Shaykh:
And she breastfed, and she breastfed. All women carry and breastfeed, and nothing happens, praise be to Allah. And today, what has made the matter easier is the availability of milk and the availability of milk products and the availability of things. Yes.
The questioner:
O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
The availability of nutrients. Yes.
