The answer

One must sincerely repent from adultery, for it is a grave sin and an abomination against which Allah and His Messenger have warned. The Ummah has reached a consensus on its prohibition. Adultery with a married woman is a greater sin, and the matter worsens if it is with a female relative, such as an uncle's wife. One must also be wary of being lenient in entering upon non- women or secluding oneself with them. As for marrying the daughter of the woman with whom one committed adultery, there is a strong difference of opinion regarding it. Refraining from marrying her is more cautious and absolves one more of responsibility, though there is no harm if one does marry her.
