Submitted by user2 on Thu, 2017-07-20 07:56

Q: I want to know about azal in Islam as my husband don't want to have children from marriage up till now, which is 8 years already. He don't want children for the next 5-6 years and is insisting that I take family planning medicine but I dont want to take it because it is affecting my body badly and I get sick very fast from them. What is the right of the wife in this situation? Should I live with him or separate?

A: It is your right. If you are not happy with this you may mention this to him or ask him for a separation.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
