 و أقولوا في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزاله و أقولوا قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأوّاله الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على عبد الله و رسوله نبينا محمد و على آله و صحبه أجمعين أما بعد و نتحدث عن أحاديث في which there is an encouragement to have many children the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ماري the woman that will she is loving and she will bear you many children some of the narrations because I am going to boast of your numbers before all of the other nations so this idea of limiting the number of children that we have it would seem at least initially that it goes there is a contradiction or there is an opposition to the command of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to have many children the second point the fact that good Muslims having many children is actually the solution and if everyone took the approach that they said because we fear the way society is going the way the country is that I should just have one child or two children then that would actually decrease the number of good people in the society and decrease the number of practicing Muslims in the society but perhaps one of the biggest problems with this approach is the fact that you don't know which of your children will be guided or which of them will be misguided and you don't know which of them will be of more benefit to you than others الله عز وجل told us in the Qur'an your fathers and your children you don't know which of them is going to benefit you more and Allah سبحانه وتعالى told the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم إنك لا تهدي من أحببت ولكن الله يهدي من يشاء you don't guide who you want to guide or who you love or you would love to be guided but Allah guides whoever he wants so what's to say to a person that if they have two children rather than three it's those two children that will be of benefit to them it's those two children that will be guided and the third one wouldn't be what's to say that it's the third one that wouldn't be the one that was guided and the third one wouldn't be the one that benefited and the third one wouldn't be the one that brought good to the parents and maybe not the second one for example so there are problems with this approach ولكن هناك أسئلة أسئلة بأسئلة هنا وإذا كان شخص يشعر أنهم لا يستطيعون أن يقومون بأسئلةهم ويشعر أنهم ستقومون بأسئلة بأسئلة أكثر بأسئلة أنهم يستطيعون بأسئلة أكثر بأسئلة أكثر بأسئلة أكثر هل هل في هذا المحاول أنهم يستطيعون أن يستطيعون بأسئلة لذلك الأسئلة تأتي إلى one of two issues to begin with أول is that permanent contraception is prohibited in Islam that is surgical procedures or drugs which permanently stop someone from being able to have children and the second category is temporary contraception and this is allowed for a valid reason but we don't think it should be a never again type of temporary where someone says that we're going to continue to use this temporary contraception for the foreseeable future forever so to speak the evidence for the permissibility of temporary contraception in some circumstances is in the Hadith of Jabirumi Abdullah and the Hadith is narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim that he said كنا نعزل والقرآن ينزل he said that we used to practice a particular etiquette of withdrawal and this etiquette of withdrawal which is obviously a kind of contraception we used to practice it at the time when the Quran was being revealed meaning during the life of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم we used to practice it so in this شيخ من باز رحم الله تعالى he was asked a question regarding this and he said that the translation of which is he said that if a woman she has many children and it is hard for her to look after them the way that Islam would tell her to do so because of how many they are then there is no objection or there is no reason why she cannot be given some kind of temporary contraception which will space out the pregnancies for this great مصلحة شيخ صد for a مصلحة لهذه المصلحة العظيمة this great benefit in order for her to be in a situation where she doesn't harm it doesn't harm herself and it doesn't harm her children and the شيخ رحم الله تعالى used this حديث of جابر as an evidence for that so in conclusion what we say is that we don't think the default position should be people worrying about the state of society and saying the answer of the state of the world we live in today is to have less children actually we think that the answer of the state of the world today is to have more children not less children because that will bring about a situation where we have a greater number of practicing Muslims and because of the reason that we don't know which of those children will be positively affected or negatively affected and so this idea of I'll just stick to two and not three or three and not four we don't see a problem with شيخ رحم الله تعالى with a family, husband and wife together and this is a joint right because they both have the right to have children making a decision to space out pregnancies in order to make it easy to look after their children each according to the society that they are living in but where we see the problem being is that when people use this temporary spacing out and they make it a permanent thing a long term thing where they say we have no plans for any more children at the moment rather what it should be is we want to give a little time to allow the woman to recover or to allow her some of her very young children maybe there's a child who's you know for example a newborn baby or just in the age of breastfeeding for example and we want that child to get a little older so that she can manage another child and so on and so forth we don't see there to be a problem in this إن شاء الله تعالى providing that it is done for the right reasons and not for the wrong reasons and no doubt طربيا being able to look after your children and being able to give them their rights is a big part of and it is given proper consideration in Islam and it is a reason to space out pregnancies as شيخ رحم الله تعالى said however it shouldn't be the case that people either go into the idea of totally not having children or having many fewer children because they're worried about the situation in their society and likewise that it shouldn't be the case that people are taking a temporary measure and making it as though it was a permanent one so they're using some temporary method of contraception for example but they are doing so in a way which is that I'm not going to stop this I'm going to continue this and that in the end resembles the same kind of permanent issues or permanent contraception that the scholars had declared to be prohibited and Allah عز وجل knows best السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته how can you do a two second action right now that will give you a
