Repenting for committing zina
Question
I had sex with a non-Muslim married girl 5 years ago. She was divorced earlier so she converted to Islam and now we are married. How do we repent for our sin?
Answer
You both should sincerely repent to Allah Ta'ala for the sin committed and make a firm resolve that you both will lead a pure and chaste life in the future.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
