Ruling on the removal of the uterus for medical reasons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: What is the ruling on removing the uterus for sterilization—that is, preventing pregnancy—for present and future medical reasons as anticipated by medical and scientific authorities?
A: If there is a dire necessity, there is nothing wrong with it; otherwise, it is obligatory to leave it alone. This is because the Lawgiver favors procreation and calls for its causes to increase the Muslim community. However, if there is a dire necessity, there is nothing wrong with it, just as it is permissible to use temporary means of preventing pregnancy for a legitimate religious interest.
