Family Planning by Mutual Agreement Between the Spouses

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is called family planning, which is when the husband and wife agree not to have a child for a specific period, is this permissible?

Answer:
If there is a reason for this, namely that repeated pregnancy harms her health, then there is nothing wrong with it.
