Is it wrong for me to wait for my wife to finish her Masters before having a child?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Assalamu Alaikum, Hazrat, I got married in March 2008, my wife completed her Hon’s degree and now continuing Masters in a women’s college just for mental satisfaction. Alhamdulillah she do follow hijab well except her eyes, hands from wrist and feet from ankle. She has no interntion of doing job and me also. Final exam of her masters it may take more 8 to 10 months. I am wating for the completion of her education and preventing me from the initiative of taking child. Is it ok for me? Am i doing sin? I am in the age of 32.

With the abovementioned intention, if you adopt any temporary contraceptive method it is also makrooh due to being against the objective of Shariah.
