Question

Me and my boyfriend had anal intercourse. Can we make tawba and get married? Is there a waiting period? Please help me. The Imam is coming tomorrow so we can get married. I don't want haram. I want halal marriage, I need help.

Answer

Make taubah. You may still marry.

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