The answer

A Muslim is not permitted to use permanent birth control methods. However, if the prevention is for a specific, temporary period due to a need, then there is no legal impediment to it. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, permitted coitus interruptus ('azl). The length of the period does not matter if there is a need for it.
