What is Allah's advice to a married Muslim man who had many relationships with disbelieving women and committed adultery, even after marrying his former lover?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Adultery is one of the gravest sins. Its perpetrator must offer sincere repentance by abandoning it, regretting having committed it, and resolving never to return to it. It is a more severe sin for the muhsan (married person). The punishment for a married adulterer is stoning to death, and repentance absolves what came before it.
