What are the methods of family planning permissible in Islam? can we use condom during intercourse for family planning?
Answer
(Fatwa: 1220206=TL/1429)
It is haram and unlawful to adopt a method which permanently removes the reproductive ability. Yes, if a woman is too sick to bear the pregnancy or she fears unbearable pains in case of pregnancy or it is recommended by any expert religious Muslim doctor then in these cases it is allowable to use contraceptives temporarily. And, if there is no such case, then it is against the objectives of Shariah.
