Does the repentance of one who has sinned and regrets what he has done, and is about to get married, get accepted?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Adultery is one of the most heinous sins, but Allah accepts sincere repentance, which includes abandoning the sin, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it, while concealing one's sin. If the adultery was committed under duress, then the right of the coerced party must be fulfilled. What aids in repentance is avoiding the causes of sin and hastening to marriage. The marriage of an adulterer to the one with whom he committed adultery is not permissible until after repentance and establishing the absence of pregnancy.
