The answer

Abortion is strictly prohibited unless it poses a danger to the woman's life or causes her unbearable hardship, and there is no other temporary method of prevention. As for temporary contraception, it is permissible to allow for a period of rest between pregnancies or for raising children. If anemia and weakness prevent you from caring for your children, temporary tubal ligation is permissible after this pregnancy.
