[QUOTE="namjiwankaur, post: 174203, member: 13793"] Sat Nam _/|\_ Here's what Wikipedia said about Islam and birth control: [I]"The Qur'an does not make any explicit statements about the morality of contraception, but contains statements encouraging procreation. The prophet Muhammad also is reported to have said "marry and procreate". Coitus interruptus, a primitive form of birth control, was a known practice at the time of Muhammad, and his companions engaged in it. Muhammad knew about this, but did not prohibit it. Umar and Ali, the second and fourth of the Rashidun caliphs, respectively, defended the practice. Muslims scholars have extended the example of coitus interruptus, by analogy, to declaring permissible other forms of contraception, subject to three conditions: As offspring are the right of both the husband and the wife, the birth control method should be used with both parties' consent. The method should not cause permanent sterility. The method should not otherwise harm the body."[/I] BBC has a page on birth control in Islam and says 8 of the 9 schools allow it. Here's the link: [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/islamethics/contraception.shtml[/url] Also from another website called Epigee: [I]Sex Within Marriage: Not surprisingly, like the Jewish and Catholic faiths, Islam views sexual relations between a wife and husband as an ideal expression of love. Sex between married spouses is both for the sexual pleasure of each partner as well as for procreation. All forms of sexual expression, from intercourse to caressing and kissing, are encouraged between partners. The only stipulation according to the Qur'an is that intercourse should not take place while a woman is menstruating. However, other forms of sexual pleasure are allowed, so long as a woman's genitals are avoided. Birth Control Almost all forms of birth control are thought to be permissible in Islam. Those that are not accepted include surgical sterilization (unless it is medically necessary), as it is viewed as a form of castration as well as alters the body without need, and the withdrawal method, because it interrupts a woman's pleasure and prevents a woman from conceiving if that is what she wants. However, the withdrawal method may be used if the woman agrees to it. Birth control use may be allowed for various women. Instances when Islam permits the use of contraception include: Allowing a woman to rest between pregnancies Preventing the transmission of infectious disease, such as an STD A women's health requires the use of birth control A husband cannot financially support more children Abortion There is some disagreement among Islamic scholars as to whether or not the Qur'an allows abortions to take place and, if so, when.
