In the Name of Allāh, the Entirely Gracious, the Exclusively Merciful

📩 Question:

The questioner says: A man did Zina (illegal sexual intercourse) with his fiance before the Nikkah (marital contract), and so she became pregnant by him, and they did their Nikkah whilst she was pregnant so they joined the pregnancy with it, so what is the ruling of this contract whilst she is pregnant, and is it permissible to join the pregnancy with it?

📝 The answer:

If it is proven with certainty that the pregnancy is from him then there is no problem in making this contract between them and this affair of theirs should be concealed. However, it is incumbent that they be rebuked and reprimanded so that they will be deterred from this action. And in any case the contract is correct according to the correct view of the people of knowledge though there has arisen a differing in this issue. The correct view is that the contract is correct and that the pregnancy is ascribed to him and that it is permissible for him to have marital relations with her if they confirm with certainty that the pregnancy is from him.
