Seeking Repentance from a Woman Who Commits Zina and Testing Her Repentance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The jurists say that a woman who commits zina is asked to repent and her repentance is tested. Is this correct?
The Shaykh:
Yes, she is asked to repent. As for the testing, she is observed if she displays repentance. If nothing happens from her, that is evidence of the sincerity of her repentance. But if something happens from her, or she looks at people, that is evidence that she is not sincere in her repentance. She is observed instead of being tempted; she is observed. Yes.
The questioner:
We say, Honorable.
The Shaykh:
Tempting her is problematic; tempting her is problematic. Yes.
