Lol @ Jamaicans. Why scare the girl?

Xamari_76, Family planning works for an educated married couple with a lot of responsibilities on their hand and who are committed to building a prosperous, strong and lasting family.
It's hard for us Muslims to successfuly copy this plan because we are inherently collectivistic society who believe in predestination as opposed to individualistic and free will society.

We are also urged (but not obligated) to bear more than enough in order to strengthen and rejuvinate the Ummah. The west is using immigration policies to attend to the problems of their declining and aging population.

It's not Haaraam

Isnt he the cutest thing?

I really dont care for a mans background...He didnt pick to be jamaican much less than you chose to be somali. So if you're ignorant enough to belittle a person based on that, then its all on you...but dont criticize peopel if they dont hold your (skewed) moral.

So it's ignorance on my part to state that I don't find Jamaicans attractive? Well thank you for giving me this lesson on ''morals'' my hippie friend.

Now back to the topic:

From Islam-qa.com

Question:

My understanding is that planning for having kids is OK in Islam, but limiting it is not. I have four kids, wal Hamdu li Llah, and I am in my 36th year and about to turn 37. Actually I love kids, and I feel guilty having my IUD, a means to avoid pregnancy, for my 5th year now. My husband is a good Muslim, wal Hamdu li Llah, but he does not like me to have more kids. Finally, I decided, and told him about it, next month, in-sha-Allah, I plan to remove that device from my body. For you information this device is causing problems in my menstrual timing (monthly period), and also causes infection.
Thanks, and baraka Allahu feekom.


Answer:
Praise be to Allah.

The answer to your question is found in the following three points:

Giving birth is the right of both husband and wife, and neither one of them has the right to deprive the other from doing so.

It is prohibited to take any measure which would permanently prevent pregnancy, or cause infertility. It is permissible, however, to use temporary birth control methods to delay pregnancy, as in the case of delaying pregnancy for the two years of breast feeding the first child.

It is prohibited to use any birth control method which would harm the body, as the Prophet said: "Do not (impose) harm, nor (inflect) harm". He also said: "And your body has a right upon you".

What if you never want to have kids? I don't want to have my own kids, maybe adopt an Ethiopian kid when I'm like 40...

family planning is a great and sometimes necessary approach. more important...couples need to discuss this before marriage that way they can both be on the same page and no one will accuse the other of holding out on kids..
