Question:
He says: I am a young man living in France with a non-Muslim woman, and I have had a daughter from her. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah? And is it permissible for me to marry her?
Answer:
He is living with her without a contract, meaning zina (unlawful sexual intercourse). Yes. He must repent to Allah the Exalted, and he must marry in a valid, lawful marriage. If this woman repents with a sincere repentance from zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) and her waiting period ('iddah) is completed, then he may marry her; there is no obstacle. However, if she continues in zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), it is not permissible for him to marry her.[An-Nur 24:3] As long as she has not repented and has not left zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), it is not permissible for a Muslim to marry her. Yes.
