I wasn’t talking about abortion either. I was in fact talking about using contraceptives and family planning etc. Well since the OP asked whether you would want to delay kids - I simply gave my personal opinion on that. I hold this view based on religious beliefs. You can choose to disagree.

Whoa whoa whoa hold up. What religious beliefs are you talking about? If you are about to quote me the whole “bacha apni rizq lay kar khud ata hai duniya main”, then I’m sorry…no wait, I am not sorry to say, that you and anyone else that vehemently spews off this phrase like it’s a tasbeeh is absolutely delusioned. Yes…a child does come with its own fate…but that doesn’t mean that a person or a couple should do it like bunnies without thinking about if they are able to provide that soul with the basic necessities of life which that kid has a right to. Or do you expect him/her to find roti kapra for themselves from the moment they are born?

Also, if you’re saying things like contraceptives are haram, then let’s see…natural family planning and rhythm method are methods that are recommended by the Prophet himself. And numerous scholars, including all the imams of the Sunni and Shia faith agree that there is nothing wrong with using other forms of contraceptives (pills, vasectomy, IUD, patches etc etc etc) as it is not destroying a life. Semen and ovum are not life.
