Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on permanently cutting off reproduction if one of the spouses requests it?

There is a distinction here. If the purpose is to regulate reproduction, there is nothing wrong with it out of need. As for cutting it off, it is not permissible.
