Question:
As salamu alaikum to all.
My wife and me we always argue about children. My wife says there should be no family planning. If children will be born its from Allah and I tell her that every thing is from Allah not only children, but if one dose not have financial capacity of raising 6 children then it is also called”israf“.
One should have children according to the capacity of being able to provide basic needs or else having too many children is not good. Please tell us who is right in this argument.
Answer:
Wa Alaykum Salam,
There is no objection to family planning in Islam. You are right.
