Tying the Fallopian Tube to Prevent Pregnancy Forever
A woman always gives birth by cesarean section, and her health does not allow her to use contraceptive pills or an IUD, which caused her uterine fibrosis. She is now pregnant with her fifth child, meaning her fifth cesarean, and she asks if it is permissible for her to tie her tubes so that she never becomes pregnant again. The procedure should be done immediately after childbirth, and she is close to giving birth. What is the ruling?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: It is not permissible to tie (the knot) unless there is an age requirement and a necessity for it, and this necessity does not appear in the situation you mentioned, and God knows best.
