Fatwa #344015 July 2001United States of America

My husband and I have no children yet. I am capable of having them but need fertility drugs. Should I take the drugs?

Question

My fear is that by not taking them I am preventing Allah SWT from performing a miracle. Is it haraam not to want children?

Answer

It is permissible to take the fertility drugs. The medication will work only
if Allah Wills.

Having a child after taking the drug will not be inconsistent with the
miracle of Allah Ta'ala.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
