چکیده:
This article aims to investigate modern issues in the field of birth control and examines the issue solely from the perspective of primary rulings, without addressing its necessities, incidental or secondary interests, or changes in time and space conditions. In this regard, the author first explains four theories presented regarding population, which are: 1- The theory of proponents of population increase; 2- The theory of opponents of population increase; 3- The theory of proponents of a stable population; 4- The theory of proponents of a proportional population. Then, it examines the compatibility of Islamic views with one of the proposed opinions regarding population. Subsequently, the author attempts to find answers to two major questions in this field. First, if procreation is not obligatory, which methods of preventing it are permissible? And second, what is the ruling on the promotion and enforcement of non-procreation by the government? At the end, the process of fertilization, the method of zygote formation and embryo emergence, and various methods of preventing reproduction are described, and while stating the existing rulings in each field, the jurisprudential (primary) ruling of using these methods has been examined.
خلاصه ماشینی:
Given that in the category of population expansion, there is no significant jurisprudential discussion within the scope of primary rulings, and by proving the recommendation (istihbab) of having many children in future chapters, it can be claimed that expansion possesses a natural recommendation (istihbab nafsi), this treatise primarily examines the foundations of birth control and the legitimacy of its methods A.
Within the scope of society, it is also clear that from the perspective of great thinkers who consider the position of the Islamic government to be so high that it has the ability to suspend many primary rulings, in our current issue, the Islamic government can also establish new rulings on the matter of population increase in accordance with the social, political, cultural, and economic interests and harms that occur to the Islamic community.
Most importantly, the book "Population Reduction: A Heavy Blow to the Body of Muslims," written by the late Ayatollah Sayyid Mohammad Hossein Tehrani, although presenting discussions from the perspective of primary rulings in some chapters, was mostly pursuing the proof of the point that preventing the increase of offspring is against the social and political interests of Muslims, and in most passages of the book, the issue has been scrutinized from this angle.
