Samples are given to us for contraception in clinics; is it permissible to give them to women as a form of advertising or not?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Samples are given to us for contraception in clinics; is it permissible to give them to women as a form of advertising or as such?
The Shaykh : I think the answer to this is derived from the previous discussion. That is, there is a detailed ruling, but this question may require further clarification. These samples are presented to you in your capacity as a doctor. Why do you say?
The questioner : For contraception.
The Shaykh : Very well. We have established that contraception is either for limitation or regulation, and we have heard the answer just now: it may be disliked or it may be forbidden. Therefore, whoever assists in what is disliked commits what is disliked, or whoever assists in what is forbidden assists in committing what is forbidden. And Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:[Al-Ma'idah 5:2] May Allah protect you. Yes.

And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.
وتعاونوا على البر والتقوى ولا تعاونوا على الإثم والعدوان
