It is Haraam for the man to use birth control without asking explicit permission from his wife. If this is true, say the wife wants to start trying for children and the husband does not while he is financially capable. Does this make the husband fall in sin? Could you please shed some light on this issue?","answer":"The right to have children is equally shared by both the husband and wife. The decision to use birth control cannot be made unilaterally by one party without the mutual agreement of the other.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ffb0b76658b4c232ade","tag":"Marriage: Roles and Responsibilities","count":56},{"_id":"668d9fdd0b76658b4c232765","tag":"Women: Children and Childbirth","count":50},{"_id":"668da0150b76658b4c232daf","tag":"Relationships: Spouse","count":42}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:40:44.171Z"}
