Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on family planning by having the woman have a year for pregnancy and another year for rest?
Answer:
This opens the door to limiting the number of children. This is not permissible except in cases of dire necessity. If, if the succession of pregnancies weakens her, makes her ill, or affects the infant in her care, there is nothing wrong with her taking what delays pregnancy until she is prepared for it and can receive it. This is called delaying, not organizing; it is called delaying what is the offspring by your hand organizing it, but delaying pregnancy until a suitable time in cases of dire necessity. Yes.
