Abstract
Considering the importance of increasing and decreasing childbearing, this article aims to use a descriptive and analytical method to address the conflicting verses and narrations on this issue and to answer the question of what is the solution approach to the conflicting verses and narrations regarding increasing and decreasing childbearing? The research findings show that the conflicting verses and narrations in the field of increasing and limiting childbearing are divided into three categories1. The conflict between the verses on the multiplication of children and the verses on the restriction of children. 2. The conflict between the verses and narrations on the multiplication of children and the restriction of children. 3. The conflict between the narrations on the multiplication of children and the narrations on the restriction of children.In the case of conflict between verses of multiplication and verses of limitation of procreation, the verses of multiplication have priority. And in the case of conflict between verses of multiplication and narrations of limitation of procreation, two cases are possible. Sometimes the conflict between verses of multiplication and narrations of limitation of procreation is in this case. In this case, the verses of multiplication have priority over narrations of limitation which are doubtful of their significance and doubtful of their origin.
