Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. A questioner says: A woman has three sons whom she gave birth to in consecutive periods. Then she used a method of contraception and continued for nine years. Then she wanted to have children, but Allah did not grant her any. She asks: Does she sin because she prevented pregnancy?
Answer:
If she prevented pregnancy for a legitimate religious reason, she is not held accountable. But if it was not for a legitimate religious reason, it is not permissible for her to do so.
