What you did is a grave sin. The ruling () with us is that kufara (expiation) is not obligatory upon women. We advise you to frequently seek Allah's forgiveness (istighfar) and perform good deeds, for Allah transforms the bad deeds of those who sincerely repent into good deeds. Allah Almighty says: "Except for those who repent, believe and do righteous work. For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful."
