Compensation for committing adultery

· 11 Shawwal 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If someone got involved in intercourse before marriage and then got married later to that woman, off course this is not permissable in Islam (May Allah forgive them). Is there is any Kafara now?

Answer

The both husband and wife should sincerely repent to Allah Ta'ala for committing such a grave sin before the nikaah.

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