Question:
I have a wife who has been afflicted with epilepsy, and she faces difficulty in raising her children. I want to cut off reproduction for this reason, knowing that the sons are being raised by another woman. What is your guidance?
Answer:
This is a valid legal excuse if the woman cannot bear pregnancy because she has an illness, and she does not raise the children because an illness prevents her. This is a valid legal excuse. Marry another woman[An-Nisa 4:3] marry another woman and keep her with you and be good to her. This woman is sick and she is excused for what has befallen her. If you do not want her to become pregnant because she is in this sick condition, this is a valid legal excuse. Yes.
