The answer

This man has committed the grave sin of adultery, which Allah and His Messenger have forbidden. He must repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness. As for the woman, if she was able to ward off the man but did not, then she shares the same sin as him. However, if she was unable to ward him off, then she was coerced, and there is no sin upon her, due to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Indeed, Allah has pardoned for my Ummah their mistakes, their forgetfulness, and what they are coerced into."
