Question
A man wants to marry a woman who has become pregnant because of zina. Will the nikah be valid while she is pregnant?
Answer
The marriage of a pregnant woman will be valid. However, if the man marrying her is not the one who had impregnated her, then he may not have sexual relations with her whilst she is pregnant. Only after she delivers the baby may he engage in relations. But if he is the man who had made her pregnant, then after Nikah, he may have sexual relations with her. They should sincerely repent for their evil deed.
