Q 12: What is the ruling on ensuring that the womb is free from pregnancy through medical examination by modern techniques?


A: Allah (Exalted be He) is the One Who sets the rules of acts of worship, marriage and transactions. He has full knowledge of what happened and what will happen in the future. He does not ordain checking pregnancy or not by medical examination through modern techniques; ...and your Lord is never forgetful So it is not enough to use this instead of (Part No. 20; Page No. 488) waiting for a `Iddah (woman's prescribed waiting period after divorce or widowhood) according to the Qur'an and the Sunnah. This ruling is clearly illustrated in the books of Fiqh. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
