The answer

If a girl repents from adultery with sincere repentance, it is recommended to help her conceal her matter, based on the صلى الله عليه وسلم's saying: "Whoever conceals a Muslim, Allah will conceal him on the Day of Resurrection," and "Whoever conceals a Muslim, Allah will conceal him in this world and the Hereafter." However, if she does not repent and persists in her immorality, then it is not advisable to help her, out of fear of encouraging her to continue. Malik ibn Anas said: "As for one known for evil or corruption, I do not like anyone to intercede for him; rather, he should be left until the prescribed punishment is carried out upon him."
