Is it permissible to become pregnant immediately after childbirth, out of fear of being unable to breastfeed the first child who is growing with difficulty?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Islam encourages having many offspring, so there is no harm in becoming pregnant immediately after childbirth, unless a reliable doctor determines that pregnancy poses a danger to the infant's life, in which case it must be delayed, based on the Prophet's (PBUH) saying: "There shall be no harm nor reciprocating harm."
