Ruling on a woman refusing to become pregnant for other than a dire necessity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
It is mentioned among the matters that cause disagreement that she refused to become pregnant after giving birth to four children, three daughters and a son. What is your guidance?
Answer: It is obligatory for her not to refuse and to stop taking anything that prevents pregnancy, such as pills or otherwise, unless there is clear harm as determined by a qualified doctor. In that case, there is no blame on her. Otherwise, it is obligatory for her to obey her husband. Perhaps Allah will bless them with more righteous children. She should not refuse, nor take anything that prevents her husband from having children, unless there is clear harm as determined by one or more qualified doctors, in which case there is nothing wrong with it. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 2340Da'if (Darussalam). Yes.
