The answer

If you are sincere in your repentance and regret the sin, then Allah will accept your repentance and erase your transgression, as He Almighty said: "And it is He who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons sins," and "Say, 'O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah.'" The one who repents from sin is like one who has no sin. Turn to your Lord, sincerely repent, and strive in righteous deeds and drawing closer to Allah, for good deeds erase bad deeds. Turn away from that woman and rebuke her. You must make up for the fast of the day you had intercourse with her if semen was discharged.
