Question

My question is that can muslims wear condoms while having sex with their wives?

Answer

If the contraceptive measures are not harmful to the health nor does it terminate a foetus that is already in the process of development and nor is it done for wrong reasons, then it will be permissible (though it is undesirable).

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
