Ruling on mother bearing child on back with a baby carrier

Question

Ruling on using a baby carrier wich you wear like a backpack for women May Allah bless you
.

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

It is permissible for a mother to carry her child in a baby carrier on her back if this does not cause any harm to the mother or the baby, and provided this does not lead to any Islamic prohibitions, such as making the clothes tight so as to show the shape of the woman's body.

We have mentioned that this is permissible because in principle all things are permissible (unless there is evidence which proves that they are forbidden).

Nonetheless, it is better not to resort to such a matter except in case of need.

Allaah Knows best.
