Birth Control & Family Limitation (of
offspring) – Shaykh al-Albaani

[48] Question : What is the ruling concerning
putting limitations to the amount of offspring one
has?

Answer : The person that limits his offspring
without having a legitimate reason for doing so, I
hold him to be foolish if not a disbeliever in the
Qadaa and the Qadar (Divine Execution and
Preordainment) of Allaah. This is since the
individual that limits his progeny to only three
children, for example, and he has reached the age
of fifty (!), the thought of death does not even
cross his mind, or that some violent storm should
come and take the lives of his three children, thus
leaving him till the end of his life as if he were
barren and without offspring. Therefore, those
that put limits to the amount of children they
have, they do not reflect upon the things that
every Muslim reflects on. And it is Al-Qadar
(Preordainment), which befalls the people in the
way that He wants, not in the way that they
want. So this practice that is done in current
times, is a severe negligence and a clear
deprivation.

Question : Does the ruling on birth control
differ from that of family limitation (of offspring)?

Answer : Birth control has some detail to it.
Therefore, I say that this thing, which has come
to be known as “birth control” is from that which
the Muslims of today are being tested by in the
lands of Islaam. However, there are cases from it,
which must be referred back to the motive behind
it. An example of this is when the motive for this
birth control is based on a prescription from
Muslim doctors who are advising the couple
towards this so-called “birth control” to safeguard
the health of the woman who has departed from
her natural state due to her having delivered
many children! So if a skilled Muslim doctor
issues these instructions as a form of advice,
then that becomes a legitimate excuse for (the
allowance of) this birth control.
This is an example in which birth control is
permissible. As for an example that is contrary to
this one, then it is such as when the motive
behind it is due to poverty (!) or because of bills,
which is always on the minds of the disbelievers!!
So you can see one of them say: “My wife and I
are two. And I have two children!! And the fifth
member of them is their dog!! So this monthly
pay that we receive is just enough for us (to pay
our bills), and that’s all [five]!” This is not
permissible in Islaam because this motive
emanates from the logic of the Days of
Ignorance, which we were warned to avoid and
stay away from. Such is found in Allaah’s saying:
“And do not kill your children for fear of poverty.
We will provide you with sustenance as well as
them.” [Surah Al-Ana’aam: 151]
This is especially the case since the Muslims
believe that the child comes with his sustenance
(already) with him. This is because, before it
comes out into this world, its sustenance is
ordained for it while it is in the womb of its
mother, as has been clarified to us in the Noble
Sunnah. So this example of birth control, with
this motive, is not permissible at all. As for the
baseless and false reasons that some people
have used to justify and allow it, then they have
no place in the Religion.
