Is it obligatory for a man to marry a woman with whom he committed adultery after their repentance?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
You must hasten to repent to Allah for the adultery you committed, which is one of the most heinous sins. Repentance involves abandoning it and avoiding its causes, regretting having done it, and having a sincere resolve not to return to it, while increasing good deeds and striving for concealment. If your repentance and the repentance of the fornicator are sincere, he may marry you after your womb has been cleared.
