What is the Copper T?
The Copper T (also known as intrauterine device or IUD) is a small, T-shaped device made of plastic and copper that is inserted into the uterus as a form of contraception. The copper in the device works as a spermicide, preventing fertilization of the egg, and also makes the uterus lining unsuitable for implantation of a fertilized egg.
The Copper T can remain in place for up to 10 years, providing long-lasting contraception without the need for daily attention or hormonal intake. It is said that it is a highly effective method of birth control, with a failure rate of less than 1%. The device can be easily inserted and removed by a healthcare provider, and after removal, fertility usually returns quickly.
The Copper T does not protect against sexually transmitted infections, and may not be suitable for women with certain medical conditions or anatomical issues. It is important to discuss the benefits and risks of the Copper T with a gynaecologist or a healthcare expert before deciding to use it as a form of contraception.
Is it permissible to use such a device for contraception?

Fatawa which was shared here from Shaikh Ibn Al-Uthaymeen has been deleted. Post will be updated later In-Sha-Allah.
Note: The Islamic Shariah encourages having more children as it considers children to be a blessing from Allah and a means of increasing the Ummah (numbers of the Muslims). It also emphasizes the importance of fulfilling one’s duty to raise and educate children, and the reward of having righteous offspring in the afterlife. The Muslim scholars unanimously discourage any temporary contraceptive methods, and the majority of the scholars prohibit permanent contraceptive methods (with exceptions being given for serious health related reasons).
