What should a female inquirer do who repented from adultery and asked God not to bless her with children in exchange for concealment and a righteous husband, and who now regrets her deprivation of the blessing of children?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
You have done well by repenting and seeking forgiveness. However, you should not ask Allah to deprive you of the blessing of a child. Rather, ask Him for pardon, well-being, and the good of this world and the Hereafter. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade hastening punishment and guided us to supplicate for the good of this world and the Hereafter. Therefore, we advise you to take the lawful means to seek a child, such as consulting doctors, increasing your acts of seeking forgiveness (Istighfar), supplicating with persistence, and having a good opinion of Allah.
