IslamQA: Can newlyweds use birth control?

Brother, is it okay for a newly-wed couple not wanting to try for baby for their first sex? Is it okay to wear condom to prevent pregnancy until later we do it again for the desired time and moment?

Islam permits birth control, so you are free to use it for as long as you need to.

Best wishes.

And God knows best.
