Is it permissible to tie the fallopian tubes after the fourth birth with the aim of having enough children to raise them well, and not out of fear of poverty, knowing that this falls under birth control and not birth limitation, and that the wife suffers from the fatigue of pregnancy?

It is not permissible to terminate a pregnancy at all unless not terminating it would lead to certain harm that cannot be averted except by termination. As for birth control, there is no objection to it.
