Allah in the Qur’an: “So set you your face steadily and truly to the Faith: (Establish) Allah’s handiwork according to the pattern on which He has made humankind: no change (let there be) in the work (wrought) by Allah: that is the standard Religion: but most among mankind understand not.” (Al-Qur’an 30:30)



The Prophet (pbuh) is reported to have said: “Marry the one who is loving and fertile, for I will be proud of your great numbers before the nations [i.e., on the Day of Resurrection].” (Abu Dawood Hadith no. 2050, Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 1805)

(2) Temporary Methods: Following are various different temporary methods.



a) M.T.P. (Medical Termination of Pregnancy) or Abortion: All scholars unanimously agree that M.T.P. or abortion is prohibited.

Allah says in the Glorious Qur’an “...kill not your children on a plea of want; We provide sustenance for you and for them;” (Al-Qur’an 6:151)
“Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you: verily the killing of them is a great sin.” (Al-Qur’an 17:31)

However, scholars unanimously agree that any permanent method of family planning, or even abortion, can be done if the life of the mother is in danger. For e.g. if the woman is suffering from certain diseases like heart disease or has under gone multiple caesarean operations and in her case the continuation of pregnancy or another pregnancy may be detrimental to her life, then the woman can be aborted or a permanent method of family planning can be adopted to save the life of the woman.


b) Taking birth control pills: Almost all the scholars including Shaykh Ibn Baaz, Council of the Senior Scholars [of Saudi Arabia] agree that it is not allowed to take birth control pills (Fataawa al-Marah) because of its side effects and changes in the normal physiology.

Permissibility of contraception​

Question:

Answer:

Al-hamdu lillaah.

Contraception is permitted under the following conditions:
  1. Mutual agreement of both husband and wife.
  2. It does not cause harm.
  3. It is not be practiced on a permanent basis, but rather for a temporary period (such as two years until the breastfeeding of the current baby is completed, for example).

What an IUD? It doesn't change your cycle or physiology and as soon as the IUD is removed you can begin to have children again, insha'Allah.

:sl:

I know that often the IUD works by releasing hormones that prevent an egg from being released, but I read (and was told by a doctor) that sometimes an egg will be fertilised but the IUD prevents it from implanting in the womb. so, possibly the IUD is not ideal if you regard the fertilised egg as a human life. (please seek proper advice as I am not the expert on this, just sharing my limited knowledge).

also, to the original poster, please don't assume that just because lots of Muslim women do something, it is Islamic (and masha'Allah you haven't made that assumption as you are questioning it here).

i would suggest you do not use pills! they are not good at all, they mess up the female menstruation system and also sometimes when you become pregnant can harm the baby. go by the Sunnah of our Prophet (SAW) and you can't go far worng, although sometimes i do wonder why even though we as muslims believe Allah is the one who choose's when to bless us with a child, why do we then think we can prevent that by using manmade contraception?
Please Help!
 
:sl:

subhanallah, if a person is allright and doesn't need any pills or anything , why take them? didn't Allah swt know that we should come in life with a pack of pills? astagfirullah. there is no need to take pills without having any problem. why would I want to upgrade my OS to Vista, when XP is working just fine? :p:p:p
it's like when some people say "oo give some wine to the kid bc wine is good for kidnies " lol and the kid has fresh kidnies.
it is not for muslims to destroy themselves with such things.

may Allah swt forgive us all.
 
yeah i would avoid pills, Allah never burdens a Mu'min with what he cannot bear. A child is a blessing and if Allah thinks the time is right for you to have a child then inshaAllah that is whats in the couples best interest and Allah will bless them with his Mercy and blessings. A child is something that only comes from the Rahma of Allah and he would never give it to a couple when the time is not right or if it would be bad for them, inshaAllah.
 
Muslims before used to practice coitus interruptus and one sahaba ask about that and the prophet (saws) said you can (any contraceptions of today), becuase what will be will be by the will of Allah. So you can use that stuff but if Allah wills you to have a child then none of that protection will stop it. So i would advise against doing the extreme things like pills and what not that can chemically affect your body.
 
Question:
On the first night after getting married, can one use contraception ( e.g condom ) or should this not be allowed. This is because it may be possible (by the will of Allah) for my future wife to get pregnant, but we may not choose to have children so early in our marriage.Please advise.

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.

It is permissible to engage in coitus interruptus if a person does not want a child, and it is also permissible to use a condom, but that is subject to the condition that the wife gives her permission for that, because she has the right to full enjoyment and also to have a child. The evidence for that is the hadeeth of Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: We used to engage in coitus interruptus at the time of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). News of that reached the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and he did not forbid us to do that. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 250; Muslim, 160

Although that is permitted, it is nevertheless makrooh and intensely disliked. Muslim (1442) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about coitus interruptus and he said: “That is the secret burying alive of infants.” This indicates that it is strongly disliked.

Al-Nawawi said:

Coitus interruptus means intercourse in which, when ejaculation approaches, the man withdraws and ejaculates outside the vagina. It is makrooh in our view in all circumstances and with all women, whether the woman consents to that or not, because it is a means of preventing offspring. Hence in the hadeeth it is called “the secret burying alive of children,” because it cuts off the means of producing offspring, like killing a newborn by burying him or her alive. With regard to it being haraam, our companions said that it was not forbidden…

These ahaadeeth and others, when taken in conjunction, may be understood as meaning that it is makrooh, but not strongly so, and the reports in which permission is given for that may be understood as meaning that it is not haraam; they do not mean that it is not makrooh.

It is better for the Muslim not to do that, unless there is a need for it, such as if the woman is sick and cannot cope with a pregnancy or it would be too difficult for her or would cause her harm. Also, coitus interruptus cancels out one of the purposes of marriage, which is to have a lot of children, and it also means that the woman’s pleasure is incomplete.

Is it OK to use condoms?

Question:
ASSLAMU ALAIKUM. I WANT TO KNOW WHETHER CONDOMS CAN BE USED.
OR WHAT IS THE MEANS OF PREVENTING PREGNANCY. WHAT IS THE ADVISABLE MEANS ACCORDING TO ISLAM

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

It is permissible to use condoms so long as this does not cause any harm and so long as both husband and wife consent to their use, because this is similar to ‘azl (coitus interruptus or “withdrawal”). But it reduces the sensation of pleasure, which is the right of both partners, and reduces the chance of conception, which is also the right of both partners. Neither one of them is allowed to deprive the other of these rights. (For more information, see Question #1100 and 566). And Allaah is the Source of strength.

????? :?

An IUD (intra uterine device) is a small object which affects sperm movement and survival in the uterus, some may be laced with Progestogen but essentially it is a physical object not a hormone. It is not a particularly effective form of contraception, in fact its still not known exactly how it works.

IUD can harm you though. sometimes if a person has gained weight or lost weight the IUD can fall out of place a pierce your inside. i had a cousin who's IUD fell out of place and she had to have a surgery due to internal bleeding.
