Adultery is an abomination, and its consequences are dire in this world and the Hereafter. He who commits it temporarily loses his faith. The questioner must repent and regret her action, and she should consider meeting Allah with this disobedience. It is not permissible to assault or abort the fetus; rather, it must be protected and raised like other Muslim children.
