Abortion

Q: My wife missed her period cycle yesterday and when she did the pregnancy test, result is found to be positive. At the moment me and my wife are not planning for a baby. The reason is we have two daughters, elder 4 years while younger is 14 months. The younger is quite small and we are still in the process of adjusting her. Secondly the last two pregnancies of my wife were went very tough and she came to complete bed rest for at least 7 months of the whole pregnancy period. This creates issues in between us and reached to hard talks. And effects our relation and commitment with the kids as well. I travel a lot approximately 280 days a year due to my job requirement within and outside the country. This adds to our problems as well. This also gives us a less time to spend together and give proper attention to kids. Can we discontinue this pregnancy because of the abovementioned reasons. I seek guidance from you.

Q: I am having an issue and need advise according to Quran and sunnah. My wife is 21 weeks pregnant. We had a genetic screening test on followed up with a detailed ultrasound in BC women hospital. They find that our baby has severe health issues including hydrops, systic hygroma, fluid in the lungs. Dr said that the baby will not be completing the term and has no amniotic fluid in the womb. Baby heart is abnormal but beating. Baby has many health issues doctors want to terminate the pregnancy. We decided to wait and asking Allah to do the best for us. Today we had OB appointment and she showed a concern that my wife is on a high risk to get the sickness from the baby like fluid in her lungs as well as other health issues. I like to ask that what Islam says in this situation as i am super worried about my wife and don't want her to get the sickness from or dying baby. Are we allowed to terminate the pregnancy? I know that Islam does not allow killing the baby but in our situation is there anyway because baby is really sick and my wife health is on risk though she does not has obvious signs. Doctors says that why we want to wait for her to get sick ? and the take the action. Please advise.

Q: My wife is two weeks pregnant and Alhumdulillah we already have 3 kids. We live in Canada and here the situation is very different. She is only one who takes care of the kids and home and she also does a job. We are very confused because our younger daughter is nine months old and the middle boy is 2 years old and the elder is 4 years old. Now my wife feels that she is not strong and we didn't even think to have another baby yet. Because we already have so much responsibilities and she said she cannot handle it right now. So is it possible that she abort it because the soul is not there now just a fluid is there. We are very scared because we cannot and don't want to make Allah angry with us.
