Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is Vasectomy permissible for men to avoid having children?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A vasectomy (male sterilisation) is a surgical procedure to cut or seal the tubes that carry a man’s sperm to permanently prevent pregnancy. It’s usually carried out under local anaesthetic, where you’re awake but don’t feel any pain, and takes about 15 minutes.[1]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Under normal circumstances, irreversible contraception, whether it is in the form of vasectomy or tubectomy, is absolutely prohibited in Islam.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sayyiduna Saad Bin Abi Waqqas( \u0631\u0636\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 ) narrated that;<\/span><\/p>\n

Allah’s Messenger (\u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645)forbade Usman Bin Mazun to abstain from marrying (and other pleasures) and if he(\u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645) had allowed him, we would have gotten ourselves castrated.[2]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Likewise, Sayyiduna Abdullah Ibn Masud ( \u0631\u0636\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 ) says,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe used to engage in Jihad with the Prophet (\u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645)and we had no one (with whom we could fulfil our desires).\u00a0 So, we asked if we could get ourselves castrated.\u00a0 The Prophet (\u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645) forbade us from doing so\u201d.[3]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where it has been confirmed by a specialist doctor that pregnancy may cause possible harm to the mother, contraception will be permitted.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Contraceptives such as; condoms, pills or other such methods temporarily make the woman incapable of conceiving.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, it is impermissible to take any permanent methods, procedures or surgical procedures which are available.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Permanent contraception is permissible only if the woman\u2019s life is in danger or her health is seriously permanently threatened and is advised by a practising and pious Muslim doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for the castration of a man, it is impermissible. [4]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although there is a clear prohibition of male and female sterilisation, only in an absolute case of necessity[5]<\/a>, it will be permissible to carry out an irreversible method of contraception.<\/span><\/p>\n
