Question
Is it permissible in Islam to have birth control? If yes, how can it be done without having recourse to medecines?
We have decided not to have a baby right now for we want to construct a house of our own.Is it valid reason for not having a baby or whether it is obligatory to have children once we are married.
Answer
Your reason for not having a baby is incorrect. Your reason alludes that having a baby will be a financial burden as you will not be able to construct a house.
Allah is the Provider and He will provide for you as well as the baby.
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.
