What should one do who committed adultery with married women and one girl, and wishes to repent and have the حد الزنا (prescribed punishment for adultery) carried out on him?
Adultery is one of the most heinous crimes and greatest destructive sins. Whoever commits it must repent to Allah with a sincere repentance that fulfills its conditions: abandoning the sin, resolving never to return to it, and regretting what has been committed. If the repentance is sincere, Allah will forgive the transgression. Do not go to the religious ruler to have the punishment (حد) inflicted; rather, conceal yourself with Allah’s concealment and repent between yourself and your Lord. Improve your deeds, strive to draw closer to Allah through acts of worship, for indeed, good deeds efface evil deeds, and associate with righteous people.
