Question:
A questioner says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, some jurists say that it is permissible for women to take contraceptive pills, and some doctors say the same. Are they correct? We ask for clarification on this matter.
Answer:
It is not permissible to prevent pregnancy except in cases of harm. If a woman’s life is in danger if she becomes pregnant, she should go to the specialized doctors, who will examine her condition and prescribe the medication that removes the predominant harm from her. As for preventing pregnancy without harm, this is not permissible. Yes.
