Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman says that she has been afflicted with falling into the major sin of zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) and wants to repent. What should she do?
Answer:
She must repent to Allah by feeling remorse, abandoning this matter, and guarding against returning to it. Yes. The sincere one is the one who does not return to it and covers herself. She should not speak to people about this matter; it is between her and her Lord, praise be to Allah. She covers herself and does not speak about this matter. She feels true remorse for the past, she is convinced of that, she does not return to it, and she resolves with sincere knowledge not to do it. And Allah accepts the repentance of those who repent.
