Q: Is it permissible to use contraceptive medications to delay having children because the couple is studying and working in a tough field (e.g. medicine)?
A: The wife should remain at home and it is not at all ethical and respectful for a woman to be working out.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
