Question
I was recently asked an important question which I didn't have an answer for it. The question is: if a lady committed a zina and she got a pregnant can she marry the same person who committed zina with her(zani)? And if the answer yes can a Nikkah be performed while she is a pregnant?
Answer
1. Yes
2. Yes
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
