The husband preventing his wife from becoming pregnant

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a question from a woman who says: Does the husband have the right to prevent his wife from becoming pregnant?

Answer:
If it is for a valid purpose, he may prevent her. But if it is merely his desire or he dislikes children, it is not permissible for him to do so.
