Question
A woman has a tumor in her breast, and the treating doctor has prohibited her from taking any contraceptives. Is it permissible for her to undergo a uterine ligature because pregnancy affects her health?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: That exceeding the age of forty exceeds the permissibility of tying the womb and similar matters; due to the usual lack of pregnancy after this age. Before that, she must be very cautious, and if there is no necessity, she should not do it. And God knows best.
