Is it forbidden to marry a man who committed zina to a woman who committed zina after their repentance?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I read in the magazine Al-Aqidah, which is published in the Sultanate of Oman, under the section of fatwas, that if a man pinches a woman or kisses her, it is disliked (makruh) for the sake of sanctity, and if he commits zina with her, she becomes forbidden to him. What is Your Eminence’s opinion of this fatwa?

Answer:
This is deeper than that. He does not pinch her, nor does he kiss her; all of this is wrong and forbidden. If she repents and he repents, there is no harm in marrying her, even if it is after the fact. If she has repented and abandoned the sin, there is no harm in marrying her. What do you think? If he spoke to her to forbid what is wrong, that is one thing, but if he spoke to her because he wanted to commit a sin with her, that is wrong. However, this does not prevent repentance, nor does it prevent marriage. If he repents and learns that she is good, and asks about her and finds that she has repented and become a repentant person, then let him marry her. If he marries her and does not know her to be bad, he should not marry her. Please proceed.
