The answer

What you did is an ugly sin and an injustice for which the supplication of the oppressed is answered. Your duty is to offer sincere repentance by desisting, regretting, and resolving not to return to it. You must also seek absolution from the woman for the injustice done to her, before a day when there is neither dirham nor dinar. If you are unable to seek her absolution due to corruption or her ignorance, then you must seek forgiveness and abound in good deeds that expiate sins. For if repentance is sincere, it removes the trace of the sin, as "the one who repents from a sin is like one who has no sin."
