Making tawbah from zina
Question
If a man did zina with a prostitute by giving her money and no one knows about it. Now the man wants to make tawbah. In what way will he get his forgiveness?
Answer
He should sincerely promise Allah that he will never repeat this and he should avoid any type of action that may tempt him to do this sin. For example, taking lustful glances or admiring pictures of women etc.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
