Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the husband and wife agree not to have children, is their action permissible?

Answer:
No, it is forbidden for them. Preventing children is forbidden for them. It is not permissible to terminate a pregnancy or limit the number of children, as they say. This is not permissible.
