Is it obligatory for a single Muslim man to marry a Christian woman who became pregnant by him out of wedlock, in order to cover up the scandal, knowing that he prefers she abort the pregnancy but she wishes to keep the child and raise it in France, and he fears the child will be raised in disbelief?

Adultery is a grave sin that incurs the wrath of Allah the Almighty. It is not permissible for a Muslim to marry an adulteress unless she has repented. Furthermore, abortion is not permissible. This fetus is not legally attributed to the adulterer. The questioner must offer sincere repentance by abandoning the sin, severing ties with the woman, feeling remorse, and resolving never to return to such an act. He should hasten to marry a chaste Muslim woman. He must also conceal his own sin and hers.
