1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to use contraceptives of all types under four conditions: that they do not cause harm to the woman, that it is with the consent of both spouses, that there is a need for it, such as the mother's fatigue or physical weakness, or the man's poverty and large family, without fearing a decrease in provision, and that the intention is not to completely sever progeny.
