What is the perspective of Islamic law on the right to choose contraceptives for married couples. The research method is normative research. Data collection is carried out by a library process, namely through research originating from laws and regulations, books, official documents, publications, and research results, the data is analyzed descriptively qualitatively, then conclusions are drawn using the deductive method, namely drawing conclusions from general to specific. The obstacle in choosing contraceptives was due to the inappropriate number of contraceptives for men and women, namely two versus five.
