Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks about the legal ruling, in your view, on contracting marriage with a pregnant woman before she gives birth?
Answer:
The contract is invalid, and may Allah protect us, for one does not contract marriage with a divorced woman if she is pregnant until she gives birth,[At-Talaq 65:4]. Once she gives birth, she exits the waiting period, and it becomes permissible to contract marriage with her. As for a divorced woman who is not pregnant, it is not permissible to contract marriage with her during the waiting period; rather, one contracts marriage with her after the waiting period. In fact, an explicit proposal is not permissible; only an implicit proposal is allowed, [Al-Baqarah 2:235]. As for an explicit proposal to a divorced woman in her waiting period, it is forbidden. Yes.

And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth
وَأُولَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَن يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّThere is no blame upon you for that to which you [indirectly] allude concerning a proposal to women or for what you conceal within yourselves
وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيمَا عَرَّضْتُم بِهِ مِنْ خِطْبَةِ النِّسَاءِ أَوْ أَكْنَنتُمْ فِي أَنفُسِكُمْ
