The answer

If a married couple agrees to a temporary postponement of pregnancy for a specific purpose, there is no objection to that. However, an abundance of offspring is preferable. It is permissible to postpone pregnancy out of necessity, such as a woman's temporary inability to conceive or her need to breastfeed her child. This does not constitute an objection to Allah's divine decree and destiny.
