What is the ruling on a pregnancy that occurs after a legitimate marriage contract (Aqid al-Qiran) and before the wedding celebration and consummation (Dukhul), and what are the directives regarding dealing with this pregnancy?

We advise expediting the wedding. Abortion is not permissible, especially if the pregnancy has exceeded the first forty days. Since the marriage contract has been concluded between you, there is no sin upon you for what has occurred. It is preferable to observe the custom of not consummating the marriage before the wedding. The wedding should be hastened to avoid embarrassment and people's gossip.
