Does he who deflowered a girl through fornication bear all the sins of her subsequent fornication?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Adultery is forbidden by the Qur'an, Sunnah, and scholarly consensus, and its consequences are grave. Whoever commits this abomination must hasten to repent. One who commits adultery with a girl does not bear the sins of her subsequent acts of adultery, for a person is not held accountable for the transgression of another, as Allah Almighty said: "And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another."
