Taking contraceptive pills. Is it permissible for a woman who recently married to take contraception so that she can perform Hajj before she gives birth?
The Shaykh:
She is pregnant.
The questioner:
No, as I understand the question, she is not pregnant, but she wants to avoid getting pregnant so she can perform Hajj without the hardship of pregnancy.
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with that, there is nothing wrong, but note that preventing pregnancy is not permissible for a woman to do except with her husband's permission, yes.
