One must repent to Allah Almighty from zina (fornication/adultery). Sincere repentance involves regretting the sin, abandoning it, and resolving never to return to it. Repentance erases sins and transforms bad deeds into good ones. One who repents from a sin is like one who never committed it. A fatwa that permits zina is void and contrary to Islamic law. One should have concealed the sin and not divulged it. There is no harm in a man marrying a woman after her repentance, nor is he considered a pimp (dayyooth).
