<![CDATA[The issue of marrying a woman who becomes pregnant outside of marriage remains a subject of differing opinions in Islamic law. This matter is discussed in Qur'an Surah An-Nur verse 3 and Article 53 of the Indonesian Compilation of Islamic Law, which states that there is no prohibition against marrying a woman who is pregnant outside of wedlock. In addition, several popular Islamic preachers on YouTube present differing legal opinions regarding this issue, making it an important topic for further discussion. This study focuses on public reception of sermons delivered by popular preachers on YouTube, the methods they use to convey their messages, and netizens' responses to the differing opinions expressed by these preachers. Based on the research findings, two main conclusions were identified. First, regarding the Islamic ruling on marrying a pregnant woman as discussed in YouTube sermon content, there are two differing opinions: it is either permissible (halal/valid) or prohibited (haram). Those who consider it permissible or legally valid argue that such a marriage serves to protect the woman's honor by concealing the disgrace and provides an opportunity for the couple to sincerely repent. Second, the study also examined how internet users (netizens) responded to and perceived the sermons presented in the YouTube content.]]>
