Pearl of Wisdom

'That good whose end consequence is the Fire is not good, and that hardship whose end consequence is Paradise is not bad. Every bliss other than Paradise is inferior, and every calamity other than the Fire itself is a comfort.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]
Nahj al-Baldgha, Saying 387

Question : #285 Category: Women's Issues
Subject: preventing pregnancy
Question: What is Grand Ayatollah Sistani's fatwa on the use of IUD and pills by a woman to prevent pregnancy?
Answer: It is permissible for a woman to use Intrauterine Devices (IUD) and other birth control devices provided that they do not pose serious harm to the womans health and that the insertion of the device does not involve a haram act, such as the male touching or looking at the private parts of the womans body that are forbidden for him to look at. Similarly, it should not involve the female looking at, and touching without gloves the private parts that are haram to touch or look at. Moreover, the IUD should not cause the abortion of the fertilized ovum after its implantation [in the womb].
