Yes, a C-section is generally allowed and permissible in Islam, especially when medically necessary to save the life or health of the mother or baby, as protecting life is a core Islamic principle. While some scholars caution against elective C-sections purely to avoid pain (as labor pain can offer spiritual benefits like sin expiation), medical consensus for necessity overrides this, making it a religiously supported procedure when recommended by qualified doctors.
Fiqh classifies contraceptives into two categories: reversible and irreversible (Bhala, 2011). Most Islamic scholars agree that irreversible methods such as sterilization are impermissible, while reversible methods (i.e. condoms, injectables, pills, IUDs, etc.) are permissible (Bhala, 2011).
Allah Almighty has put human beings in trials to resist Shaytan's whispers and suggestions, to sin, and to repent to Him with a sincere heart.

Shirk is considered the gravest, as Allah states He will not forgive it, though He forgives other sins for whomever He wills.
In the Quran Allah says “Surely, Allah does not forgive that a partner is ascribed to Him, and He forgives anything short of that for whomsoever He wills. Whoever ascribes a partner to Allah commits a terrible sin.” Al-Nisaa, 48.
List Of Things Muslims Consider Forbidden (Haram)
The 7-7-7 rule in Islamic parenting divides a child's upbringing into three seven-year stages: the first 7 years (0-7) are for play and love, fostering a secure bond; the second 7 years (7-14) are for teaching and discipline, introducing Islamic guidance; and the third 7 years (14-21) shift to treating them as a friend and advisor, preparing them for adulthood.
