Re: Birth Control in Islam

So you’re saying azl wasn’t practised in the time of the Prophet (PBUH)?

'Allama Jad al-Haqq (Allah have mercy on him), the pious late 20th Century Shaykh al-Azhar, wrote in a fatwa dated 1399 AH (1979 CE), that:

  1. Contraception is permitted if the husband and wife agree, as there is nothing in the Qur’an or Sunna to prohibit it; rather,** the hadiths and practice of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicate permissibility, and this is confirmed by the words of the jurists across the schools of Islamic law. **

  2. It is not permitted to engage in contraception without the agreement of the spouse–for both husband and wife.

  3. **Contemporary forms of contraception, whether used by the husband or the wife, are akin to the `azl (ejaculating outside the vagina) mentioned in the hadiths, as is explicitly understood from the words of the jurists of the Hanafi and other schools. **Rather, they are superior, more natural, and less harmful.

  4. It is not permitted to use irreversible contraception–such as sterilization.

  5. It is not permitted for there to be state-imposed forcible population planning. [Summarized from Jad al-Haqq’s fatwa, from Mawsu`at Fatawa Dar al-Ifta’ al-Masriyya]

Other contemporary fuqaha state likewise.

**While some texts indicate that it is somewhat disliked (makruh tanzihan) to do so, this is not what most of the major jurists of the Hanafi school state. **Even jurists who stated that it is disliked mentioned that if there is a sound reason or benefit to engage in contraception then it is not disliked. In our times, this would include reasons such as having a manageable family size, when one does not have the support of extended families in raising the children; the desire to give the children the attention, education, and support they need in difficult times; genuine (physical or emotional) health reasons, and so on.’

Sayyiduna Jabir ibn Abd Allah (Allah be pleased with him), the notable Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) relates that,

**"We used to engage in contraception (azl) while the Qur'an was being revealed. Had it been something that was interdicted, the Qur'an would have forbidden it."** [Bukhari (5209); Muslim (4220)] Kasani (Allah have mercy on him) states in Bada'i al-Sana’i`(2.334-335),

"It is disliked to engage in contraception (`azl, preventative ejaculation) with one’s wife without her permission. This is because intercourse with ejaculation is the means to having a child, and having a child is her right. By resorting to contraception [without her permission], having a child is prevented, which is akin to being a reason for not fulfilling her right.

However, if the contraception was with the wife’s agreement (rida), then it is not disliked. In such a case, she will have willingly forgone her right."

**Ibn Taymiyya (Allah have mercy on him) and others relate that the permissibility of contraception with the wife’s permission is agreed upon by the four schools of Sunni Islam. **al-Fatawa al-Kubra, 2.101]

Where's Mukobahi disappeared to?

Re: Birth Control in Islam

I am here man I am saying contraception is mostly used in these days because people are afraid of Rizq factor which is the responsibility of ALLAH if you do birth control for this it is haram and shirk

Re: Birth Control in Islam

no you read quran first and stop portraying like a mmuslim. you cannot provide any reference in your argument's support that means you are not muslim and have never read quran.

Re: Birth Control in Islam

Well if you think about it - using condoms - when a woman is ovulating would ensure that a child that would have been conceived is not conceived. Seems like abortion - you've killed the hypothetical un conceived child.

Re: Birth Control in Islam

i dont know how valid is that argument.
there are millions of situations where you can compare it with abortion.
may be you should not have gone out of town for business and slept with your wife so that child could be conceived.

or you shouldnt have slept early, or you werent in a mood. or etc etc etc

i guess there is a reason why people say kids are born in families due to their fate.

Re: Birth Control in Islam

Agrred, stay at home, awake all the time making babies.

Re: Birth Control in Islam

^^ OR you can use condom and accuse yourself of killing a baby every night.

Re: Birth Control in Islam


well how is that working out for the poor in PAKISTAN? Reliance on allah is not a sub for common sense.

Re: Birth Control in Islam

Sir ALLAH is the provider even if you do birth control and and only produce two children but still you don't get easy life than what sir Rizq is the responsibility of ALLAH and don't challenge him by showing that you are more smart than even if you are not killing your child because of poverty still you are doing birth control for the same reason that is you are afraid of poverty ALLAH can open your rizq with many children and can restrict your rizq a lot even if you have a single child
