What is the woman's right in a case of zina after the adulterer has repented and Allah has forgiven him?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
The ruling differs depending on the circumstances. If a woman commits adultery willingly and with her consent, she has no right against the adulterer. However, if she was forced, then she does have a right against the adulterer, and this right is established whether he repents or not. For the completeness of repentance from the rights of people is to fulfill these rights to them. And whoever does not fulfill them, the retribution on the Day of Judgment will be in terms of good deeds and evil deeds.
