The ruling on a Muslim man marrying a woman who commits zina

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Uh, uh. He says: We see in these days that some good men have married some bad women, or the reverse.

Answer:
That is not possible, not possible, if Allah wills. By "bad women" you mean women who commit zina. It is not possible for a Muslim to marry a woman who commits zina,
and none marries her except a fornicator or a polytheistوَالزَّانِيَةُ لَا يَنكِحُهَا إِلَّا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ
[An-Nur 24:3]
, and the marriage contract with her is not valid unless she repents. If she repents from zina and her waiting period ends, the contract with her is valid. But as long as she has not repented from zina, the contract with her is not valid and not permissible; it is invalid.
