The answer

Scholars differed regarding the marriage of an adulterer before repentance, and the majority opinion is that it is permissible. Based on the opinion of the majority – which is a respected opinion – the marriage is valid if it fulfills the conditions, such as the presence of a guardian and witnesses, and the children are attributed to him. One must beware of adultery and its means, and hasten to sincere repentance for whoever has fallen into it.
