The answer

A Muslim woman is not permitted to have a relationship with a foreign man, especially if she is married. The relationship with the young man must be severed completely, and she may use evasive language if asked about the relationship.

One should adhere to the rules of and beware of corrupt forums, remembering that Allah is aware of all deeds. It is not permissible to go to soothsayers and diviners, nor is it permissible to perform Istikhara (prayer for guidance) for committing a sin. A Muslim should learn the rulings of their religion and ask about what they do not know.
