Is it permissible for a married woman who is suffering from her husband's threats of divorce, his lies, his fear for his money, and her continuous quarrels with him, to use contraceptives due to her feeling of instability and fear of his betrayal? And would she be sinful for that? If it is not permissible, what is the solution given the husband's lack of commitment to religion and his desire to raise the child in a "modern" way in foreign schools, while she wants to teach him the fundamentals of religion and enroll him in Islamic schools?

Children are a blessing. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, encouraged marrying a woman who is fertile. The general rule is not to use contraceptives, except out of necessity and to the extent of that necessity, and with the agreement of both spouses. It is not permissible to completely prevent procreation. It is not permissible to place children in foreign schools due to the resulting corruption of their minds and their abandonment of their religion.
