Is the woman who stopped taking fertility medications after two months of use considered sinful, and does the ruling regarding abstaining from childbearing apply to her, knowing that she and her husband are content with God's decree?
Procreation is an innate human desire and a great purpose of marriage, and one should strive to achieve its means. If procreation is not possible due to illness, treatment is permissible, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Seek treatment, for Allah, the Exalted and Most High, has not created a disease without also creating a cure for it, except for one disease: old age." Treatment is not obligatory according to most scholars, but it should not be abandoned if its benefit is highly probable and it does not cause hardship, especially when the husband desires children.
