The third question of Fatwa No. ( 17776 )
Q3: If a man commits fornication with a woman and then marries her, and after four months he repents to Allah the Exalted, is the contract valid?
A: 3 It is not permissible to marry a fornicator, and the contract with her is not valid until
she repents and her waiting period ends. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
