Question:
This is Sami al-Maghribi. He says:[An-Nur 24:3] A woman committed zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) and wants to marry another man. Does she have to observe a waiting period, and how long is this waiting period?
Answer:
There is no doubt that the waiting period is obligatory if she has been penetrated, whether by zina, by a valid marriage contract, or by a defective marriage contract. The waiting period is necessary so that it is known that her womb is clear.
This is Sami al-Maghribi. He says:
The fornicator does not marry except a [female] fornicator or polytheist
