Will Allah forgive the sin of someone who had a relationship with a married woman, which led to her divorce, and what should he do to repent?
A man must sever his forbidden relationship with a woman who is a stranger to him. A relationship with a married woman is even more forbidden because it involves violating the honor of her husband. He must fulfill the conditions of repentance and hasten to supplicate for the woman's husband and seek forgiveness for him. He should also have a good opinion of Allah Almighty, for His forgiveness is vast. Allah Almighty said: "Say, 'O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.'" (Az-Zumar: 53). And in the : "Whoever repents before the sun rises from its west, Allah will accept his repentance."
