The questioner : A woman is pregnant from zina, and this man wants to marry her. Is he required to wait for her until she gives birth?
The Shaykh : Of course, because that is a sin. He wants to enjoy her as if he had not committed the sin with her. They are not equal, for example.
The questioner : He must wait for her until she gives birth.
The Shaykh : And he must repent, and she must repent from what they did, and only then is it permissible for one of them to marry the other.
