Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the one who received it with the help of a woman who possesses it in a state of sin, even if she turned away from these people, and does the husband seek it?
Answer:
If he knew of the prohibition and contradicted it, he has committed a sin, so he must seek forgiveness. This istijmar does not suffice for him; rather, he must perform ghusl along with repentance to Allah. However, if he did not know, he is excused due to ignorance.
