Is it permissible for a woman to retrovert her uterus to avoid pregnancy?
If a hysterectomy leads to severing progeny, it is forbidden, unless there is a certain or predominant harm that befalls the mother due to childbirth, and it is known that this harm is usually impossible to remove. In such a case, a hysterectomy becomes a necessary means to remove it. The majority of scholars have ruled that severing progeny permanently without certain harm is forbidden. However, if a hysterectomy results in birth spacing for a specific period and due to a need, then there is no objection to it.
