Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My wife is sick with a virus called B in the liver. He says she lives with one kidney, and we want to stop having children for fear that the virus will be transmitted to the children. The doctors have warned her against using contraceptive methods because that activates the virus. His question is: We have no option left but to tie the tubes. Is it permissible for us to do that?
Answer:
A report from a reliable medical committee is required, and a letter should be written to the mufti along with it. It is to be presented to the committee, which will examine it and issue a fatwa on the permissibility or impermissibility of the matter. Yes.
