Is postponing pregnancy after a miscarriage, in order to complete one's studies and search for a job, and then the hardship of staying home all day, with the husband's agreement to the postponement, considered forbidden and an oppression of the husband's right?

Procreation is one of the greatest purposes of marriage and a shared right of both spouses. Neither of them has the right to prevent the other from it without their consent. However, agreeing to postpone it for a period or to regulate it for a benefit is permissible.
Therefore, there is no sin upon you in delaying procreation as long as your husband agrees. However, it is advisable not to delay it if you feel that your husband desires procreation and there is no harm to you in it.
