Question???

[Lili]

Hello to all nomads here:

 

It has never been lucid to me if birth control Xaram? If it so, how am I suppose to protect my self from having a child every year? Specially for parents who lives in the States, having many children is a bit difficult.

Very good question:

[-KIWI]

Asalaamu calaykum

 

Okay its xaram.

We should be thinking about increasing the population of the muslim ppl rather than decreasing it allahu akbar look at the jews they scare me walaahi,

they have up to 10 children so we should fulfille our obligations in that matter.....

As i understood, sis meant about birth regulation not birth stopping.

 

As all uluma agreed on, birth regulation is not haram, in other words is allowed to put distance between two kids such as two three years, because sahaba (R.A) applied to distance between the kids by AZL (casil) way = (to pick out the penis before the sperm comes), so. the uluma say u can also use pills if u cann't do this way.

what's haram in islam is to say i don't want more than two kids etc, but u can regulate to distance between the kids. it's more recomanded to regulate the birth if the mother is sick or getting sick when she gives birth.

 

To sum up:

 

REGULATION (TANDIIM) = ALLOWED

 

LIMITATION (TAXDIID) = HARAAM

 

WALLAHU ACLAM

I beleive you will find the following fatwas helpfull:

 

#1:

 

Question:

Is it permissible to use birth control so that a person has a child every five years, because he sees the corruption in society and would not be able to raise a lot of children close in age in this overwhelmingly corrupt society?

 

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

 

We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, who replied:

 

So long as this is the intention, then it is not permissible to do this, because it reflects a lack of trust in Allaah with regard to the hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who said “Marry the one who is loving and fertile…”

 

But if the birth control has to do with the condition of the woman – because she cannot cope with repeated pregnancies – this may be permissible, but it is better not to do it.

 

Question: Do you mean that it is more important to pay attention to the woman’s condition than to the corrupt nature of society?

 

Answer: Of course, because there is no certainty that one’s children will be corrupt; they may be righteous people who will bring benefits to society. And Allaah knows best.

Question:

What is the ruling on family planning in nations where there is a large number of inhabitants such as in Cairo for example?.

 

Answer:

 

Praise be to Allaah.

 

We will quote to you below a statement issued by the Fiqh Council (al-Majma’ al-Fiqhi) with regard to family planning:

 

The meeting of the Fiqh Council held during its fifth conference in Kuwait 1-6 Jumaada al-Aakhir 1409 AH (10-15 December 1988) – after studying the research presented by members and experts on the subject of family planning, and listening to the debate that took place on this topic, and based on the fact that one of the objectives of marriage according to Islamic sharee’ah is to reproduce and preserve the human race, and that it is not permissible to undermine this objective, because undermining it goes against the texts and teachings of sharee’ah, which call for having many children, protecting them and taking care of them, because producing and caring for offspring is one of the five kulliyaat (holistic principles) which sharee’ah came to take care of – issued the following resolutions:

 

1 – It is not permissible to issue laws that limit the freedom of couples to have children.

 

2 – It is haraam to remove the ability of men and women to have children, which is known as sterilization, so long as there is no need to do so according to shar’i principles.

 

3 – It is permissible to use temporary means of contraception in order to increase the gaps between pregnancies, or to stop them for a limited period of time, if there is a valid shar’i reason for doing so, based on the couple’s estimation and with mutual consultation and agreement, subject to the condition that this does not result in harm and that the means is acceptable according to sharee’ah and will not damage any existing pregnancy.

 

And Allaah knows best.

 

Resolution no. 38 (1/5), re: Family planning.

Question:

please tell me if i should wait to try and have children based on my concern for giving any children Allaah ta'Ala might give me a good islamic family environment. i have debts from long ago that involve paying ribaa and i feel that i should wait to have children until i can pay off these debts. please advise. jazakum Allahu khairan

 

Answer:

 

Praise be to Allaah.

 

Allaah says (interpretation of the meanings)

 

“And no moving (living) creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allaah” [Hood 11:6]

 

“And so many a moving (living) creature carries not its own provision! Allaah provides for it and for you. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower” [al-‘Ankaboot 29:60]

 

“Verily, Allaah is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong” [al-Dhaariyaat 51:58]

 

“so seek your provision from Allaah (Alone), and worship Him (Alone), and be grateful to Him”

 

[al-‘Ankaboot 29:17]

 

Allaah condemned the people of the Jaahiliyyah who killed their children for fear of poverty, and He forbade doing what they did. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

 

“And kill not your children for fear of poverty. We shall provide for them as well as for you. Surely, the killing of them is a great sin” [al-Israa’ 17:31]

 

Allaah has commanded His slaves to put their trust in Him in all their affairs, and He is Sufficient for those who put their trust in Him. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

 

“and put your trust in Allaah if you are believers indeed” [al-Maa’idah 5:23]

 

“And whosoever puts his trust in Allaah, then He will suffice him” [al-Talaaq 65:3].

 

So you have to put your trust in your Lord and believe that He will provide for you and your children. Do not let the fear of poverty prevent you from seeking to have children, for Allaah has guaranteed provision for all. By not wanting children for fear of poverty, you are imitating the people of the Jaahiliyyah.

 

You should also note that taking out loans with interest is ribaa (usury), for which Allaah issues the warning of a painful torment. It is one of the seven sins which condemn a person to Hell. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Avoid the seven sins which condemn a person to Hell…[which include] consuming ribaa.” And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has cursed the one who consumes ribaa, the one who pays it…” Consumption of ribaa is one of the greatest causes of poverty and loss of blessings, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

 

“Allaah will destroy Ribaa and will give increase for Sadaqaat (deeds of charity, alms)” [al-Baqarah 2:276]

 

I think that you do not know the ruling on interest-based loans. So seeks Allaah’s forgiveness for what is in the past, and do not do it again. Wait for your Lord to grant you a way out and seek provision from Him. Put your trust in Him for Allaah loves those who put their trust in Him.
