Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

The Sharee’ah permits the usage of birth control pills if the following conditions are met:

1. Both spouses agree to it.

2. There are no bad side effects from their use based upon medical advice.

3. These pills should not cause permanent sterility.

For more details, please read Fatwa 82154.
