The Ruling on Using a Method of Birth Control

Question:
He says: My wife used a method of birth control because she was exhausted by consecutive pregnancies every year. She has resolved to stop using this method after five years have passed. Please note that she has given birth to four children, the eldest of whom is four and a half years old. What is your guidance?
May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is no harm in using methods of birth control if there is a need to do so in order to avert harm. However, this should be done during the breastfeeding period in the first and second years, so that consecutive pregnancies do not harm her, and so that it does not prevent the proper Islamic upbringing of her children. If she is harmed by pregnancy after pregnancy in the upbringing of her children and in her health, then there is no harm in regulating births within the limits of the first and second years of breastfeeding. Yes.
