The answer

Adultery is a grave sin, and one must hasten to sincere repentance. Marriage to the adulteress is not obligatory; rather, it is impermissible unless both have repented. The child of adultery is not attributed to the adulterer by the majority of jurists, while some are of the view that the child is attributed to his lineage if the adulterer acknowledges him. There is no harm in leaving the woman and returning to your country. We advise caution against leniency in dealing with foreign women.
