Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a man and a woman who committed zina repent and wish to enter into a lawful marriage, is there a waiting period for purification between them?

Answer:
Yes, there is a waiting period. If she is of those who menstruate, it is three menstrual cycles. If she is not of those who menstruate, it is three months. Yes.
