Abstract

Family Planning (KB), or tandzim al-nasl, or tahdid al-nasl, is a program that tries to regulates and controls the number of births, in order to achieve family welfare and happiness, by accepting and practicing the idea of potential and happy small families. However, lately, the problem is that there are many women who suffered some diseases caused by birth control medication and programs. Therefore, this research question is how family planning is viewed from the perspective of Islamic law. The purpose and benefit of this research is to know scientifically and contribute to the legal knowledge and the community, especially about family planning. This research is a combination of normative and empirical legal research (applied law research). Normative-empirical legal research is legal research that is the object of the study of normative legal rules (in abstracto) and their application to legal events (in concreto). Pros and cons among scholars in addressing family planning is very reasonable, because KB itself has several benefits and harms at the same time. Family Planning Law revolves around the law contained in it. If family planning is defined as tandzim al-nasl, then it can be in line with the purpose of the KB, which is to achieve a happy and prosperous family by preparing a more established cadre, namely a generation that is small but of quality and quality, but if the understanding of family planning is interpreted as tahdid al- nasl then this is contrary to the aims of the shari’ah which is not permissible in Islam. One of the lightest effectiveness is al-’azl: this is what the Prophet taught.
