Is it permissible to marry the daughter of a woman with whom a man committed fornication after he repented, and does the interpretation "the one who marries two vulvas will be in the Fire" apply to this situation?

Among the signs of sincere repentance is the firm resolve not to return to the sin. Meeting with a non-mahram woman, being in seclusion with her, and looking at her are all forbidden. As for marrying the daughter of a woman with whom one committed zina (fornication/adultery) with her mother, there is a difference of opinion. Imam Al-Shafi'i and Imam Malik hold that she is not forbidden, while Imam Abu Hanifa and the Hanbalis hold that she is forbidden.
