Question:
He asks: What is meant by the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Nur 24:3]?
Answer:
The verse is clear, and at its end it says:[An-Nur 24:3]. Therefore, it is not permissible for a fornicator to marry, nor is it permissible to marry a chaste woman to a fornicator. It is not permissible to marry a chaste woman to a fornicator, nor to marry a chaste man to a fornicatress, because of the corruption of chastity and the mixing of lineages. However, if the fornicators repent with a sincere repentance, then they may be married. But it is a condition for the repentant fornicatress that her waiting period ('iddah) must pass. If she menstruates, it is three menstrual cycles; if she does not menstruate, it is three months. This is so that she is not pregnant from fornication, which would lead to the mixing of lineages. Thus, two things are required: sincere repentance and the completion of the waiting period. Yes.
