Second, the view of Islamic law regarding the closure of a woman's womb for the reason of limiting heredity is that it is not permissible to cover the womb because it is contrary to human nature and also to Islamic law which has been established by Allah SWT. has appointed his servant with the best determination. Third, the Islamic view of covering a woman's womb for the reason of limiting offspring seen from the perspective of maṣlaḥah is contrary to maslahah itself.
