What is the ruling of Islamic law on the procedure of tubal ligation for birth control for a woman who suffers from severe anemia and general weakness, is the mother of two daughters, and is seven months pregnant, and there is no other suitable medical method of birth control for her?
Abortion is strictly prohibited unless it poses a danger to the woman's life or causes her unbearable hardship, and there is no other temporary method of prevention. As for temporary contraception, it is permissible to allow for a period of rest between pregnancies or for raising children. If anemia and weakness prevent you from caring for your children, temporary tubal ligation is permissible after this pregnancy.
