Question

I have two kids aged 3 and 8 months. I suspect my wife is pregnant again. She is still breast feeding our 8 month old baby and we are not prepared for a 3rd baby yet. Is it valid to terminate the pregnancy?

Answer

There is no apparent reason for you to terminate the pregnancy.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
