What is the ruling on taking birth control pills for life, especially for a woman who is 40 years old?
The mentioned pills do not completely prevent offspring, and their effect is temporary, allowing for conception upon discontinuation. If a mother uses them after the age of forty until her death, with her husband's permission, there is no sin upon her. Their permissibility is further confirmed if there is a health or livelihood-related excuse.
