The questioner : What if limiting family size is ordered by the ruler?
The Shaykh : Then he is not to be obeyed; he is not to be obeyed, because limiting family size is not in the hands of man.
The questioner : What if it is assumed to be close by?
The Shaykh : Even if it is assumed that a man says, "I want to limit it so that I have six, until they reach maturity, and when they reach maturity... perhaps these... in one year, yes?"
