Re: Family planning

@Anwaar Qureshi

There are few things that need to be kept in mind since it is said in the original post that Family planning is OK in Islam.

1- Yes! Family planning is OK.

2- Abortion is not. Now there are certain conditions, the most important is that it is allowed to save the mother’s life. Second, according to Islamic teachings, Rooh of a person is blown in after a certain time (I think it’s 40 days or 4 months.. please, correct me cuz i do not remember at the mo). After that it is not permissible without threats of life.

3- Allah:swt: is the provider. He has written everyone’s Rizq already. People in Arabia before the Prophet:saw: used to kill their children due the the poverty and it is EXTREMELY forbidden in Quran to do so.

4- All the humans who are destined to come till the day of judgement will definitely come in this world because their ARWAAH are already created and were taken oath on the Day of Alast in Alam-e-Barzakh.

Now, plan as you wish and use common sense but do not transgress in matters of faith and when it comes to blind faith in Allah:swt:

I did research on my own before posting this topic. Hence, I know what to do and what to avoid. Not only abortion is haram in islam but is also discrouraged in other religions. There are exceptions though. I know why family planning was later said to be okay by Hazrat Mohammad p.b.u.h. Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) told many of his companions to practice 'azl (abstinence from sex) .. But since mankind has advanced so much, many scholars believe that there is no harm in using different birth controls that are not threatening. Of course, vesectomy and any kind of castration is unlawful.
