The Ruling on Birth Control Due to Poverty

Question :

My income is limited and I have many children; is it permissible for me to limit the number of births?

Answer:

It is not permissible to limit births, based upon the words of Allah, Most High:
"We shall provide for them as well as for you."

And there are ways to delay pregnancy, such as by breast- feeding the child, because normally, pregnancy does not occur. Another method is to delay having sexual intercourse for a week or two (after the woman becomes purified from her menstrual period), because in most cases pregnancy occurs by Allah's permission through sexual intercourse straight after the woman becomes purified from her menstrual period. Another method is to practice coitus interruptus, which is to ejaculate outside the vagina and that is permissible if both partners agree to it. And it is permissible to remove the fertilized ovum before forty days using permitted medicines for a valid reason.
