The question

What is the ruling of the Sharia on a woman who was married and established an emotional relationship with a relative that included sexual foreplay, then divorced her husband and married her relative, but she feels remorse and fears that Allah will not forgive her? And how can she please Allah and achieve peace of mind, especially since she cannot live with her current husband due to her remembrance of her sin, and finds it difficult to marry a third time?

The answer

وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته،

فلا يجوز للمسلم أن يتمنى الموت لما ورد من النهي عن ذلك؛ ففي الصحيحين عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «لا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ المَوْتَ لِضُرٍّ أَصَابَهُ، فَإِنْ كَانَ لَا بُدَّ فَاعِلًا، فَلْيَقُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي، وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي»؛ وعلل النهي عن تمني الموت في حديث أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه في صحيح مسلم قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «لا يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمْ الْمَوْتَ، وَلا يَدْعُ بِهِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ؛ إِنَّهُ إِذَا مَاتَ أَحَدُكُمْ انْقَطَعَ عَمَلُهُ، وَإِنَّهُ لا يَزِيدُ الْمُؤْمِنَ عُمْرُهُ إِلا خَيْرًا».

هذا ونسأل الله أن يفرج همك وييسر أمرك.

والله أعلم.
