Haraam relationship
Question
I am currently in a relationship with a man that has promised myself and his family that he will marry me for over a year. We are still unmarried but now have a baby together and live together under the same roof. Many people have told him to get married and he doesn't listen. Im still waiting. If we are to eventually marry what would I do to repent these sins. I fear for my newborn baby as she has now been born haram. I want to do everything I can to make sure she is protected.
Answer
You need to abandon this relationship immediately. This is a zina relationship. You are drawing the curse of Allah Ta`ala all the time. Don't pay attention to his feelings and thoughts.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
