Sterilization operations, whether for men or women, are not permissible unless there is a religiously recognized necessity, such as a definite or probable danger to the mother's or fetus's life during pregnancy, or the mother suffering from illnesses she cannot bear due to it, and no temporary means of contraception are available. If doctors determine that pregnancy poses a danger to you and no temporary means are available, then there is no harm in undergoing a tubal ligation.
