The Ruling on Contracting Marriage with a Pregnant Woman Who Committed Zina

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man commits zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) with a woman and she becomes pregnant from him, and the man wants to contract marriage with her, is it obligatory to terminate the pregnancy?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to contract marriage with her while she is pregnant. It is not permissible. She must conceal herself and observe the waiting period; she must observe the waiting period, even if there is no apparent pregnancy in her. How much more so if there is an apparent pregnancy from zina? It is not permissible to contract marriage with her.
