The Ruling on the Use of Contraceptives

Question:
The questioner says: Is a contraceptive, or any type of medical contraceptive for one, two, or three years, forbidden, disliked, or permissible? Please clarify the matter for us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It depends on the need for it. If there is a need for it due to an illness in the woman, or for other reasons that permit her to take contraceptives, there is nothing wrong with it. For example, if she is breastfeeding, and if she becomes pregnant, it causes harm to the infant.
The point is: if it is a legitimate religious excuse, whether due to having many children and her fatigue, or because the child is harmed by her milk while she is pregnant, or because she has an illness that makes pregnancy harmful to her, as certified by trustworthy doctors, then there is no blame on her.
As for taking contraceptives for the sake of luxury, it is not permissible. Or out of fear that they will not provide service or financial maintenance; this is a bad opinion that is not acceptable.
