Fathwa, - Doctor performs female sterilization

Question
I am a doctor in a western country. Part of my job is to do female
sterilization for their patients. What is the Islamic opinion on this?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and
peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and
Companions. It is unlawful for any woman to block the way to
conception unless there is a real threat to her life and she cannot
find another way to protect her life. This is an issue that should be
decided through a testimony of a trusted physician. If any woman whose
condition is as described above and there is no female physician for
you to refer her, you can then perform the sterilization for her, but
revealing her nakedness only to the extent which is necessary. You
should also not be in seclusion with her. Allah knows best.
