A woman taking contraceptive pills without her husband's knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner in this question (S. M. A.) says: The questioner (S. M. A.) says: She is a woman with seven children, and she is taking contraceptive pills during this period to rest from the fatigue and exhaustion, but the husband insists on her not taking contraceptive pills, and she has continued taking them without his knowledge. Is that permissible for her?
Answer:
If she has great hardship, there is no blame on her; otherwise, the best and most cautious course is not to do so; because offspring, the more there are, the more desirable it is to increase the Muslim community, and she has a great reward in that, if she does well in raising them, she and her husband have a great reward. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan al-Bayhaqi 10:869.
So if patience for that and strength are facilitated, there is great good in it, in increasing the Muslim community and obtaining children who will benefit their parents, if Allah wills, if they become righteous. So the result is that if there is great hardship, there is no blame on her. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.

Marry women who are fertile and loving, for I will be boasting with you before the nations on the Day of Resurrection.
