Assalamualaikum
A couple got married five months back. But they had compatibility issues since the very beginning. With time issues have been growing. The husband believes they would surely get divorced sooner or later. Today they got to know the wife is 6 weeks pregnant. The wife too didn't want the child right now. Now he wants to know that can they abort as it would be a major sin if they are unable to give the right tarbiyat?

Ref. No. 2436/45-3686

In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most merciful

The answer to your question is as follows:

The relation between husband and wife is a precious gift of Allah. For a successful married life, mutual relationship and respect of each other is necessary and they are obliged to fulfill each other's rights. A Muslim is bound by the commandments of Allah and the Messenger of Allah in all the circumstances. Disagreement between husband and wife is not a new thing, but managing it and maintaining this relationship for a lifetime by tolerating each other is socially good and fruitful in the hereafter as well.

After a few months of marriage, the second blessing of Allah has been received, hopefully the present pregnancy will strengthen the mutual love and affection of both of you, and lay the foundation of a new life. Therefore, both of you must abstain from the sin of abortion and be in love with each other, and at present you both must pay attention to the coming child.

And Allah knows best
