The Shaykh’s detailed explanation of the ruling on contraceptive pills.

The Shaykh : The use of pills is like that, or rather it is worse, because these pills, as far as I have been informed, are harmful to the woman; they are harmful to her in every respect. If someone were to ask: Is it permissible for a woman to use pills that prevent pregnancy without her husband’s consent? The answer is no, without a doubt. If the husband does not practice coitus interruptus except with the wife’s permission, then the woman’s use of these pills without the husband’s permission is forbidden and not permissible, because he has a right to offspring.
