Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the sister asking says: Preventing pregnancy for more than four or five years, if it is with the consent of my husband, even though I am in good health, and we have agreed to have only two children.
Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to limit the number of children. As long as she can bear the burden of pregnancy and her health is good, it is not permissible for them to delay pregnancy. They should leave the matter to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and not know what is best in it. This is in their interest and the interest of the Muslims. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
