Ruling on Taking Contraceptive Pills
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it permissible for a woman to take what prevents pregnancy?
Answer: This is a matter that requires consideration. If there is a need and a benefit, such as a harm that would affect the woman in continuing the pregnancy according to the doctors' opinion, or if she has small children and it is difficult for her to raise them, then she may take contraceptives. For example, during the first year of the two-year breastfeeding period, so that she gains the strength to raise the children and is safe from the effects of consecutive pregnancies.
The point is that if there is a religious reason and a religious benefit, such as raising small children and caring for them, or if there is harm to her according to the doctors' opinion that this pregnancy would harm her greatly, then there is no objection to taking contraceptive pills for one or two years. Yes.
