"Is it permissible for a wife who has cheated on her husband multiple times and cannot live with him due to feeling guilty to seek a divorce? "
"A husband's betrayal is one of the greatest sins, and adultery is even more obscene from a married woman. It is obligatory to hasten to sincere repentance, cease the sin, and resolve not to return to it. Allah the Almighty said: (Say, ""O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.""). If you repent and become upright, there is no need to separate from your husband; rather, conceal yourself, perfect your repentance, and increase in righteous deeds. Feeling guilty necessitates repentance and good deeds.
