The ruling on a woman using an IUD to prevent pregnancy
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it lawful or forbidden for a woman to use an IUD? And what is the best solution you advise, may Allah grant you success, for a woman who has a small child and does not want to become pregnant? How many problems have arisen between a husband and his wife because of this matter?
The Shaykh : What does the husband say?
The questioner : He says he wants her to become pregnant.
The Shaykh : I am with the husband who says he wants his wife to become pregnant, because the more children there are, the better. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Marry women who are loving and fertile,” meaning those who give birth frequently. A woman should not use anything to prevent pregnancy except in cases of extreme necessity. In that case, she should also ask the doctor what she should use, pills or an IUD? And without extreme necessity, the hardship of pregnancy and raising children is something that must be endured. If a person seeks help from Allah and follows the Shari'ah of Allah, Allah the Exalted will help him.
The presenter : May Allah reward our Shaykh with the best reward, and benefit us with his knowledge, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon His servant and Messenger Muhammad.
