The answer

It is not permissible for a man to live in the same house with a woman who is not his , due to the forbidden seclusion () involved. If, in addition to that, a heinous act (fahisha) is committed, the matter becomes even more reprehensible. They both must repent, seek forgiveness, and vacate the residence immediately. The intention to marry does not make this permissible. However, it is permissible to marry her after her repentance. As for the prayer and fasting, we hope they are valid.
