Medical Issues: Can a Woman Opt for C-Section to Undergo Sterilisation Simultaneously?
English:
Question #1251:
Is it permissible for a pregnant woman, who wants to be sterilised, to have a caesarean so that the procedure of sterilisation can be done at the same time?
Answer #1251:
We have already discussed sterilisation. As for the caesarean, going for it or not is dependant on the need for it, or the request of the pregnant woman. At any rate, it is harām for a non-mahram man carrying out the operation to touch or look at her during both procedures unless in necessary cases.
