Question

I have committed zina with my fiancé's mother mistakenly. She is my mother’s sister and I repent to Allah and ask forgiveness for my mistake. Nobody knows about this except ﷲ and us . I’m very nervous that if I do nikah with her daughter then the nikah will be valid or not and if I have children with her daughter.

I don’t understand what to do and currently it’s highly impossible to step back for marrying her daughter because if I try to step back there will be a big problem. Please bring out a solution for me. I love my fiancé very much and I can’t leave her.

Answer

You should make sincere taubah and beg Allah Ta'ala for forgiveness for committing this major sin. Ensure that you keep a distance from her so that you do not fall into the sin again. Since you committed this sin with her, her daughter is haraam for you. You cannot marry her. In some way, you should excuse yourself from marrying her.

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