Family Planning In Islam

In Egypt, the population rate is increasing every nine months by one million. Even though many Egyptians don't practice family planning, the Islamic religion is favourable to the idea. With assistance from the UN Population Fund and prominent Islamic University, Al-Azhar, local religious leaders known as Imams, are briefed on acceptance methods of family planning. They then go out into the community to share the information with the Moslem population.
