Is it permissible to use birth control pills for the purpose of spacing out periods?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The mother of Anas asks and says: Is it permissible to use birth control pills for the purpose of spacing out periods for a specific time?

Answer:
If there is a pressing need for it, such as if she has many children and it is difficult for her to become pregnant during the breastfeeding period, and the husband agrees to it, then there is no blame on her, provided there is a public benefit and it averts harm during the days of breastfeeding. Or if consecutive pregnancies would harm her, so that there is a gap of two years or more between them to avert harm, and the husband agrees to it, then there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
