The question

Is marriage to a girl who practiced lesbianism and repented permissible or forbidden? Must she inform the one she will marry? Should she distance herself from the one who shared the sin with her, even if they both repented together? What should she do with the messages related to the sin? And how does she know that her repentance has been accepted and that she has been forgiven?

The answer

Lesbianism is a major sin. Repentance from it is like repentance from all other sins, and one who repents from a sin is like one who has no sin. It is permissible for a lesbian to marry, and she must conceal her past and not inform her future spouse about what she used to do.

She must distance herself from bad company and environments where she used to commit the sin, and she must dispose of messages that incite sin. Among the signs of accepted repentance is that a person returns to their Lord and improves their condition after repentance.
