The Ruling on the Use of Family Planning Methods

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner (S. M. M.) from the Arab Republic of Egypt says in her question: What is the ruling on using the family planning methods we hear about in our present time? Is there any contradiction in this with what came in the Qur'an and the Sunnah?

Answer:
This is a general question. Family planning is a general question that requires detail. If the meaning of family planning is regulating pregnancy, then there is detail in this: If she has hardship in that she is breastfeeding and fears pregnancy which would harm the child, then there is no harm in taking what prevents pregnancy until she completes the breastfeeding. Or if she has a harm... the doctors' report that she has a harm from consecutive pregnancies, then there is no barrier to taking what prevents consecutive pregnancies if she carries after every three or four years, if she has a harm in consecutive pregnancies.
The intended meaning of family planning, if it is for a religious reason, then there is no harm. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
