Does Allah accept the repentance of a girl who committed zina twice then repented sincerely, and is her disgrace among her family considered a punishment from Allah and an evidence that her repentance is not accepted?
The crime of adultery is among the gravest sins, but whoever repents from it with sincere repentance, Allah accepts their repentance. Indeed, He, Glorified be He, accepts repentance from His servants, and He promised to accept repentance unconditionally, not restricted by a previous repentance, as long as the repentance is sincere and fulfills its conditions. Allah loves those who repent, who turn back from sin even if they repeat it. Exposure does not mean that repentance is not accepted; rather, it might be an acceleration of punishment in this world. As for marrying the young man with whom one committed adultery, it should only be after verifying his repentance and after establishing the absence of pregnancy.
