What is the ruling on a pregnancy resulting from an illegitimate relationship with a non-Muslim man for a woman who has recently converted to Islam, and how should she deal with it? Is it permissible to abort it, knowing that it is not permissible for her to marry a non-Muslim?
The woman must repent to Allah for committing adultery. Her fetus is not sinful, and it is not permissible to abort it in its third month. The fetus is not attributed to the man who committed adultery with its mother, even if he is a Muslim. Rather, it is attributed to its mother and her family.
