Summary
The 28th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee, held on 29 February 1991, ruled that the Norplant implant system is permissible to use. Its use is subject to the ruling of the 12th Muzakarah on 20 January 1977 on family planning. That ruling prohibits sterilisation of men and women, and prohibits preventing births or limiting the number of children unless for a reason permitted by Islamic law. Spacing births for the sake of health, education and family well-being by other means is permissible.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
