Does the repentance of one who has practiced lesbianism get accepted, and is a Ḥadd punishment to be carried out on her, and is it permissible for her to marry and live a normal life?
The repentance of the repentant is accepted if it is sincere and fulfills its conditions: abstaining from the sin, resolving not to return to it, and regretting having committed it. If your repentance is sincere, then Allah accepts it, and you become as if you had never sinned, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The one who repents from sin is like one who has no sin." Allah the Almighty said: "Say, 'O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.'" Have a good opinion of your Lord, strive in His worship, and increase in good deeds; for good deeds erase bad deeds. You must conceal yourself with Allah's concealment and not expose yourself, and it is not a condition for the validity of repentance that a punishment for the act occurs; rather, whoever repents, Allah accepts her repentance. Live your life normally, and this matter will not harm you, Allah willing.
