Morning Reminder. Sunday. 18th day of Dhul Hijjah. Our topic on family planning continues. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. If You advised a young man to get married and delay having children until he has finished his studies or education, this obviously means that he has to resort to methods of birth control. In ancient times, before the new methods of birth control were invented, people resorted to coitus interruptus(Withdrawal) in order to restrict the number of children. This is a safe method, because it does not involve the use of any substance or chemical compound. It is a simple method which involves withdrawal before discharge. It is not highly effective, because some of the sperms may be released before the actual discharge. These could easily fertilize the female egg. This method was practiced in Arabia, as well in many other places. The companions of the Prophet mentioned it to him and asked him whether it was wrong. The Prophet did not forbid them that, but he told them that it could not stop Allahs work. If He wants us to create something, or in this case, if He wants a child to be born, the resort to contraception would not prevent the mother from getting pregnant. In the light of the foregoing, we can say that using a safe and effective method of birth control is permissible, if it does not involve the use of a harmful substance. The couple must check with their doctor if a particular method is safe for them to use. If so, then they decide whether to use it or not.Base on this I will strongly suggest that brothers and sisters in any form of relationship should rather marry the easy sunnah way and continue their education using safe way becoming pregnant instead of delaying marriage. To be continued in shaa Allah. May Allah aid us in our efforts to understand His way of life (Islam). Aameen.
