Obligatory and Situational Rulings of Preventing Pregnancy and Sterilization in Imami Jurisprudence (book): Difference between revisions

The author in final summary expresses that one cannot present a general and universal rule in the issue of sterilization for every time and place. This ruling similar to harm varies according to conditions and characteristics. In cases where opposition to sterilization causes harm to society, its permissibility is doubtful. In cases where opposition to sterilization causes strengthening Islamic society against disbelief, its ruling is permissibility in broader sense. Also, initial conflict among some narrations and fatwas is answerable, because Islamic society needs more people. Of course, detecting this in societies where Islamic system is established, is governmental affairs and in the competence of the guardian jurist and governmental position holders. In societies where Islamic system is not established, detecting this will be the responsibility of religious rational people or individuals themselves (p. 101).
