The answer

It is not forbidden to prevent pregnancy for a period of two years at the beginning of marriage, with the consent of both spouses, to ensure the stability of the marriage. However, it is better not to prevent it, to be optimistic about good, and to have a good opinion of Allah. The early arrival of a child may be a factor in fostering harmony and increasing the bond between the spouses, and a source of joy for them and their families.
