What is the ruling on preventing pregnancy without the husband's permission due to his extravagance, financial problems, and her having been divorced by him twice previously?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Procreation is a shared right between spouses, so neither of them may prevent conception except with the other's permission. Extravagance and excessive debt are not justifications for abandoning procreation. The husband should be advised with wisdom or through the intervention of someone he respects. It is also the wife's right to demand a dwelling, and the obligation to provide it is fulfilled by renting. It is recommended to seek wisdom and understanding between the spouses.
