Is it true that God will not accept our marriage and will not bless us in it if we marry after what happened between us of sexual practices without penetration, and what must I do for God to forgive me for this sin?
The Fatwa congratulates the questioner on her righteousness and repentance, and advises her to remain steadfast in obedience, to beware of leniency with non-mahram men, and to avoid everything that leads to temptation. It clarifies that repentance erases sins, and there is no need to perform Umrah after repentance. There is no objection to marriage after repentance, even if it was actual fornication, for the repentant person is like one who has no sin. It advises her to rely on Allah regarding the matter of marriage, and there is no specific time for marriage after repentance.
