dc.description.abstractWrong misconception regarding permissibility of the modern contraception for Muslim patients is common in Muslim societies. This resulted into negative perception to the modern family planning practice by contraception. This is further aggravated by divergent opinions of scholars breeding controversy on this subject. This prompts this study to embark on the justification of the permissibility of the modern contraception for Muslim patients via jurisprudential analysis. The study adopts doctrinal method to analyse various provisions of the Qur’an and Sunnah as well as juristic opinion about contraception under Islamic law. The study asserts that the practice of family planning is age-long, pre-dating Islamic era. It contends that Islamic legislation does not condemn the contraceptive practices but modified it. The study finds that the issue of contraception split scholars of Islamic jurisprudence into two: the antagonists and the protagonists. The study finds that both sides of the antagonists and the protagonists relied on the provisions from the sources of law to strengthening their arguments. The study finds that the position of the protagonists of the contraceptive method of family planning is in line with the objectives of Islamic law. The study finds that there is justification for the permissibility of the modern contraception for Muslim patients in line with maqasid Shari‘ah. The study recommends that Muslim patients have the duty to ascertain which type of contraceptive method is safe and devoid of risk from the medical experts while exercising their rights to contraception.
