A father marrying his chaste daughter to a wicked man

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how is it permissible for a father to marry off his chaste daughter to a wicked man, when the verse says, the Exalted:
The fornicator does not marry except a [female] fornicatorالزَّانِي لَا يَنكِحُ إِلَّا زَانِيَةً
[An-Nur 24:3]


Answer:
Yes, this applies to the woman who commits zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) and does not repent. The woman who commits zina and does not repent, it is not permissible to marry her. As for the man who commits zina, it does not prevent a woman from marrying him, but she has the choice, as mentioned before, she has the choice if he is not well-known for it, because he is a Muslim. He is still a Muslim, so he has the right to marry. Even if he is a Muslim who commits zina, but she has the choice, or her guardian if he is not satisfied. I mean, her close relatives and kin, if they are not satisfied, they have the choice regarding open sinfulness.
