Title

Reading Kufr unintentionally

Question

As we live in nonbelivers country and here we find kufria kalimath every where, some times unintenssionaly we read those articals which will contain som words like praising theire idols ext. I have this bad habit while travelling I use to read sign boards even with out realising what I am reading. Is this reading will effect our Iman.

Seondly, By using contraceptive methods how a human can prevent a birth of human being when we have the iman that  only ALLAH will give birth & death to human or any thing with his wiil only and things happen only occurding to his wish.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

  1. No, this will not affect your Imaan because your beliefs haven’t changed.
  2. Contraception is merely a means we adopt although we ultimately believe that Allah is the One who will make the means work or not.

And Allah knows best
