The answer

It is permissible for a woman who is exhausted by closely spaced pregnancies to seek a permissible temporary contraceptive method to regain her health, and her husband should understand her situation. However, inserting an IUD is not permissible due to its inclusion of Sharia-related caveats. It would have been more appropriate for the woman to agree with her husband on a specific period for rest and recovery, and to take the legitimate means for that.
