Ruling on a Woman Refusing to Bear Children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Our sister asks in her final question, saying: Her mother gave birth to eleven children, five of whom are young and the rest have grown up, and she has been greatly exhausted. Is it permissible for her to stop having children?
Answer: If pregnancy harms her, according to the testimony of doctors, then there is no harm. Otherwise, she should not stop. Perhaps Allah will grant her a child better than these, perhaps Allah will grant her a child who is better and more righteous than these. So she should not stop unless there is harm. If there is harm, then there is no harm.
The presenter: May Allah bless you. May Allah reward you with good.
