Morning after pill
Question
Is the morning after pill otherwise known as emergency contraception allowed in Islam?
Answer
Recently we have heard that these types of medications have disastrous after effects. One must be careful not to do something that will harm her or the child if there is any child later on.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
