Re: Is birth control forbidden in Islam?
No … Primary purpose from an Islamic angle for having sex is to have children and enjoy the companionship in the process … They are connected … and should not be severed … the moment we try to sever the two we can optimise enjoyment but have to mutilate ourselves first or we can avoid mutilation and reduce the enjoyment … We are supposed to have sex naturally and allow God to destine for us when we are going to have a baby … family planning is for those who put more trust in the asbab (means) of Allah (SWT) than in Allah (SWT) directly.
