Question

I have recently married and my husband plans to go hajj next year
along with me.
Is this a valid reason to avoid pregnancy on health accounts till
after hajj

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible for you to delay your pregnancy until after hajj.1

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

وإن كان العزل برضاها لا يكره؛ لأنها رضيت بفوات حقها، ولما روي عن رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - أنه قال: «اعزلوهن أو لا تعزلوهن إن الله تعالى إذا أراد خلق نسمة، فهو خالقها»
