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

 <\/p>\n

My wife is 41 and is pregnant with our third child Al<\/em>\u1e25<\/em>a<\/em>mdulill\u0101h<\/em>. This was a planned pregnancy as we wanted more children and planned for 3, given we were married at 33. However, this pregnancy unlike the others carried higher risk factors due to age and previous 2 c-sections as well as the history of large babies etc. thus experienced a lot more issues and has required extra monitoring. The doctor has suggested my wife consider sterilization as future pregnancies will carry high-risk factors to herself and the fetus. He suggests that further pregnancies may not be safe, mainly due to the age factor. Under this circumstance, is it permissible? Please can you advise on this matter soon? The doctors have suggested sterilization to take place during the c-section operation for which we have to provide consent, in the next few weeks. We, of course, would like to take the Islamic perspective into consideration before making a final decision. We have read online, to consult a Muslim doctor who is knowledgeable on these matters but does not know of anyone in the medical profession. I would be grateful for your guidance on this matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

Female sterilization is a permanent procedure to prevent pregnancy. The Islamic ruling is that permanent procedures to stop pregnancy are forbidden since this entails unwarranted disfigurement and alteration from fi<\/em>\u1e6d<\/em>rah<\/em> (natural disposition). It also opposes the Islamic objective of having children. However, adopting temporary procedures, in pressing circumstances such as in the described case, is permissible. \u2013 (See: Rad Al-Mu\u1e25t\u0101r, Vol 3, Page 175, D\u0101r Al-Fikr)1<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

\u200f<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201dI heard Sa’d (may All\u0101h be pleased with him<\/em>) saying that the idea of \u2018Othm\u0101n ibn Madh’\u016bn (may All\u0101h be pleased with him<\/em>) to live in celibacy was rejected [by the Prophet]. If he had been given permission, some of us Companions would have ourselves castrated [but he did not grant permission].\u201d \u2013 (\u1e62a\u1e25\u012b\u1e25 Muslim 1402)2<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jabir (may All\u0101h be pleased with him<\/em>) reported, \u201cWe used to practice ‘azl<\/em> (withdrawal during intercourse to prevent pregnancy) during the lifetime of All\u0101h\u2019s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him<\/em>). The news of this practice reached All\u0101h\u2019s Apostle (peace and blessings be upon him<\/em>), and he did not forbid us.\u201d – (\u1e62a\u1e25\u012b\u1e25 Muslim 1440)3<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n
