Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: It was announced recently that there is candy exported from some countries containing a substance that prevents children from being born. I have eaten some of it, and I now want to get married. I now want to get married, but I am afraid of wronging the one with me, who is my wife, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : How are you afraid?
The questioner : I am afraid of wronging the one with me, who is my wife, if Allah wills, knowing that I have not done any tests at the hospital. Should I rely on Allah and get married, or should I inform her before the marriage?
The Shaykh : I say that, if Allah wills, this man did not eat much, and it will not affect him, if Allah wills. He should rely on Allah and get married. I wish he had told us the type of this candy so that none of those present now would eat it.
The questioner : He says it comes from Iran, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : His father is from Iran. What is it? Its name is the chic...
The questioner : He did not mention the name. He says it is probably "Kiran." I seek forgiveness from Allah.
The Shaykh : In any case, if this is established, Muslims must beware of it. Because the enemies of Islam do not want Muslims to have offspring, because they know that one of the causes of strength is a large number, as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Isra 17:6] and mentioned. Shu'ayb mentioned to his people that Allah had blessed them with abundance, so he said: [Al-A'raf 7:86]. Therefore, the idea of population control comes from the enemies of Islam so that Muslims do not have many children and thus have strength. What is the source of this? Yes, okay, publications. If the source of these publications is verified, then this matter must be publicized so that it does not spread among the people. Yes.

The Shaykh : In any case, if this is established, Muslims must beware of it. Because the enemies of Islam do not want Muslims to have offspring, because they know that one of the causes of strength is a large number, as Allah the Exalted said:
and made you more numerous in manpower
وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ أَكْثَرَ نَفِيرًاAnd remember when you were few and He increased you
وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ كُنتُمْ قَلِيلًا فَكَثَّرَكُمْ
