The answer

Committing the abominable act of zina (fornication/adultery) and drinking alcohol are major sins. Whoever repents from them with sincere repentance before death, Allah will accept his repentance, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The one who repents from sin is like one who has no sin." And whoever repents from these sins and his repentance is accepted, he will be among the people of Paradise. As for whoever does not repent, he will be deprived of it, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever drinks wine in this world and does not repent from it will be deprived of it in the Hereafter."
