What is the Islamic rule on birth control?

Question

Are we allowed to determine how many children we want to have, or is contraception considered wrong?

Please explain.

Answer 1

Birth control is allowed in a marriage because a couple does not want to have a child everytime they have s*x.

Birth-control pills, condoms, both are allowed and halal.

Had Allah willed it haram, it would have been stated in the Glorious Qur'an.

Answer 2

If the family planning was done for any legal reason, like the mother is ill or is facing exhaustion due to continuous birth etc., and doctors have puled that continuous birth may be dangerous for her life or cause harm to her body, then she could use temporary birth control methods to delay pregnancy. But it is prohibited to take any measure, which would permanently stop pregnancy or cause sterility.

You know children are a grace of Allah bestowed on you , and you should not refuse the blessing of Allah. In a sound Hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) said: “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end, except for three: A continuous charity, Knowledge by which people derive benefit, Pious child who prays for him”.

Rest Allah knows the best~!

Answer 3

The rule is "Breed like rabbits!".

Answer 4

I'm a Muslim I don't know and I don't claim to know a lot about Islam but what I know it is allowed in many Islamic countries like Egypt...

Answer 5

it is clearly stated in Quran NOT TO KILL YOUR CHILDREN OUT OF THE FEAR OF POVERTY. if Allah send your children he will feed them as well. countries laws are not same as islamic laws so dont try to match that.

Answer 6

unless theres some problem where your family despritley doesnt want you to have a child, i dont know the rules on birth control, but its best to keep it natural

Answer 7

My dear sister salam for you.In line with fatwa of the Board of ulamas in Indonesia where 80% of its population are muslims

birth control is allowed,because it does not kill the live fetus but only to avoid the meeting between cell eggs with sperms

or avoiding the cell eggs become mature. in the womb.

Abortion is haram because it is similar with killing except if her pregnancy will harm her life with the statement of a geneacologist Birth control does not determine how many children we want to have because alive or died children will be determined by Allah. Birth control is only the effort of parents how to limit or to delay having children In fact if a wife has a contraception sometimes she will get pregnant because there is no guarantee that the pregnancy will not be occured 100 %.if Allah wanted it (kun fa ya kun)

Answer 8

here's what i found:

2) Temporary Reversible Contraception

There are many methods by which reversible contraception can be performed. Coitus interruptus (Withdrawal method), the pill, using of the condom, i.u.d, spermicidal, just to mention a few.

The ruling on reversible contraception is that, it is somewhat disliked (makruh tanzihan) if practiced without any reason. If there is a genuine reason, then it will be totally permissible with the permission of the wife. Some of the reasons (for the permissibility of reversible contraception), which the Fuqaha mention, are:

a) Physical state of the woman,

b) Weakness and illness,

c) The couple are on a distant journey,

d) The couple’s relations are unstable and divorce is likely,

e) Spacing out children in order to give them adequate care and attention,

If contraception is practiced due to a reason contrary to the teachings of Shariah, then it will not be permissible. Some of these reasons are:

a) Fear of poverty and not being able to provide,

b) For the fashion of keeping small families and imitating the Kuffar,

c) Being ashamed of having a girl (in the old times)

Answer 9
