Preventing a pregnancy during the beginning (stages) of a marriage
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: Is it impermissible to prevent a pregnancy for a period of two years at the beginning of a marriage, so long as both husband and wife are in agreement with this, such that they can both see whether they (are compatible) to continue with the marriage or not?

Response: This is not impermissible, however it is better not to prevent (a pregnancy), and they should join together in good and have good suspicion (about their affairs) in (the hands of) Allaah.
