Does the repentance of one who has committed incest and fornication with foreign women get accepted, and is it permissible to travel to distance oneself from them while one's parents are elderly, and will one bear the sin of those who commit fornication after one has distanced oneself from them?
Adultery is a grave sin, and incest is even more sinful. One must hasten to sincere repentance and cut ties with immoral women who insist on their actions. If travel is the only means to avoid indecency, then it is obligatory.
Seek a righteous environment that will help you repent. In the hadith, the man who killed a hundred souls was commanded to leave the land of evil and go to the land of the righteous. This indicates the desirability for one who repents to abandon places of sin and friends who aid in them, and to replace them with the company of good and righteous people.
We advise you to strive for marriage and fasting, and to be wary of things that provoke desires.
