Question

My question is about a very sensitive issue. If a person touched the private parts of his uncle's wife while she was asleep with lust but afterwards he realized it is a great sin. What is the Islamic ruling for him? What should he do for tawba.

Answer

He cannot marry the children of his uncle. He should make sincere taubah and he should not go close at all in future.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
