is it allowed to take contraceptive measures, in light of the fact that we'll be going to Hajj this year
Question
I got married four months back, me & my wife are planning to perform Hajj this year Inshallah.
My question is;
is it allowed to take contraceptive measures, in light of the fact that we'll be going to Hajj this year Inshallah keeping in view the hardships faced during Hajj, are we allowed to restrain for sake of child's & mother's health as it would be our first child, we don't know how the pregnancy would be like??
Answer
You will be excused for taking contraceptives if Hajj is compulsory upon you.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
