Q: Family planning is not permissible in Islam. I have come to realise that even though we use different methods of family planning, everything lies in Allah Ta'alas hands. If Allah Ta'ala wishes it to be, nothing can prevent it. My husband and I use condoms as a preventative. I would now like to refrain from this as I feel it is not correct and this also falls under family planning, however, my husband feels contrary. Is azal also regarded as family planning. If it is ok to use condoms, no problem. However, if its not permissible then what should I tell my husband?
