Is repentance from lesbianism a condition for the validity of a marriage contract, and is it necessary to renew the contract if the marriage took place without repentance?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The sin does not affect the validity of the marriage, nor does it necessitate a renewal of the marriage contract. However, the woman must repent to Allah if she has not already done so. Repentance involves abandoning the sin, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it, while also concealing oneself and not openly declaring the sin.
