Is the second marriage contract considered valid—even though the intention was to obtain a passport—and does it solve the problem of the invalidity of the first contract which took place during pregnancy?

The summary of the fatwa (definition) is that the website inclines towards the invalidity of the marriage between an adulterer and an adulteress before repentance and ensuring that there is no pregnancy. This is the view of Imam Ahmad. However, since the marriage contract has been concluded, consummation has occurred, and years have passed, it is permissible to follow the opinion of those who affirmed the validity of the contract in this case, such as the view of the Hanafis and Shafi'is. This is because in matters of dispute where there is a necessity, it is permissible to adopt the opinion that offers a concession.

Furthermore, the majority of scholars hold that a child born out of wedlock is not attributed to the adulterer. However, some, like Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, are of the opinion that if a woman becomes pregnant through adultery and is not in a marital bed (not married), then the adulterer may attribute the child to himself.
