Review of the Rules of Warrant Birth Control and Contraception with an Approach to the Necessity of Increasing Population and Aging Crisis

Population is a basic element for identifying human communities the control of which has a significant role in economic growth of the countries. One of the most important factors affecting the population is the rate of birth and fertility. For this reason, most countries try to control population through controlling fertility or creating or removing restrictions of using contraception tools. Our country is not exempted from this rule and has adopted different solutions at different circumstances in the way that in the years after the war, because of encountering the situation of population explosion, it has attempted to control the population either through removing restrictions or nowadays because of experiencing aging crisis, by crating restriction for using contraception services that of course has raised oppositions against using these solutions. The present research aims at reviewing the jurisprudential approach to the subject of birth control and the arguments of pros and cons in order to find an answer for the warrant birth control. The results show that despite the desirability of population growth and its recommendation in Islam, birth control and restriction is accepted widely; although the diagnosis and selection of methods of control depends on the requirements of the time and the opinions of Islamic competent scholars.
