My husband and I have no children yet. I am capable of having them but need fertility drugs. Should I take the drugs?
Question
My fear is that by not taking them I am preventing Allah SWT from performing a miracle. Is it haraam not to want children?
Answer
It is permissible to take the fertility drugs. The medication will work only if Allah Wills.
Having a child after taking the drug will not be inconsistent with the miracle of Allah Ta'ala.
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.
