Question:
Also, among the questions from the questioner, Umm Salim from the Sultanate of Oman, she says: I have given birth to eight children so far, and I want to take a contraceptive. Is that permissible? And what should I do? I am very tired from pregnancy.
Answer:
This requires consulting a doctor. If the doctors determine that the pregnancy will cause you obvious harm, there is no objection to taking what prevents pregnancy, provided the husband permits it. It is also necessary to have the husband's consent for this. However, if the intention is that you find the pregnancy difficult, but there is no danger, it is not permissible for you to take what prevents pregnancy, because pregnancy is sought and childbirth is sought. Undoubtedly, the pregnant woman faces hardship, but she is patient. Allah the Exalted said, "Her mother carried her with weakness and gave birth to her with weakness." And He the Exalted said:[Luqman 31:14] with kindness [Luqman 31:14]. There must be hardship, but the mother is patient, and she is upon a great reward. Yes.

And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents
وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِHis mother carried him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years.
