Question:
Salaams,
Are Family Planning methods permissible in accordance with Islam Shariah?
Many thanks.
Answer:
In order to avoid giving a very extensive answer let it be known that whatever is medically approved to prevent implantation is permissible and whatever terminates pregnancy after implantation, unless required to save the life of the mother, is abortion and is deemed as haram. Allah knows best!
