What is the wisdom behind exposing unlawful relations and tearing the veil of concealment, and does Allah accept repentance after regretting such actions?
It has been previously explained that Allah is Hayiyy (Shy/Modest) and Sittir (Concealer of faults), loving concealment. However, His wisdom may necessitate the uncovering of what is concealed. Instead of dwelling on the past, one should focus their efforts on beneficial and righteous deeds, associating with righteous women, and avoiding that which leads to error. It should be known that threats are not always considered coercion and have specific conditions. If the threat was not as described, then the woman is sinful for what she did, and she must repent according to its conditions, and have a good opinion of Allah for her repentance to be accepted.
