The ruling on inserting an IUD to prevent pregnancy

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister asking says: What is the ruling on a woman inserting an IUD to prevent pregnancy, and if she has children and wants to be content with them only?

Answer:
This is not permissible; this is limiting the offspring, and it is not permissible. However, if she is harmed by pregnancy and takes pills that delay pregnancy, or an IUD that delays it but does not terminate it, then this is permissible for the sake of need, to the extent of her need. Yes.
