The ruling on a woman taking contraceptive pills without her husband's permission
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: I took contraceptive pills without my husband's knowledge. The reason I took those pills is that I get very sick when I am pregnant. However, I waited until three or four years had passed, and at that point I stopped taking the pills. What is the opinion of Your Eminence, the Shaykh? And is there any sin on me for that? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You should not take the pills except with his permission, because pregnancy is a matter shared between you two. Therefore, he has no right to prevent you, and you have no right to take the pills without his permission unless you reach a mutual agreement. It is not permissible to take the pills except out of necessity, such as illness or the like. As for when there is no necessity, do not take the pills even with his consent. Pregnancy is desirable, and it has benefits and advantages. However, if necessity calls for taking the pills due to illness or harm, there is no harm. The obligatory thing is to seek permission, cooperate in this matter, and consult. This is what is obligatory. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
