Ruling on the Fornicator’s Marriage to the Woman with Whom He Had Fornication before Repenting

𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵

Salam Aleikum. If a couple committed zina. The man repented before they got married. The woman didn’t. They had a nikah the ismalic way. They then had a baby after getting married . In wedlock. 3 years later the woman comes across a fatwa saying she needs to renew her marriage contract. That her marriage is invalid because she didn’t repent the zina. She has repented a lot and sincerely during the marriage. (1) Is the marriage invalid? (2) if she can’t renew the marriage contract without both families insisting on knowing the reason , what can she do? Shukran

𝑨𝑵𝑺𝑾𝑬𝑹❗️

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

First of all, we congratulate this man and that woman on their repentance to Allah, the Exalted, and ask Him, the Almighty, to preserve their religion for them and to increase them in guidance and righteousness.

As for the ruling on the fornicator’s marriage to the woman with whom he had fornication before repenting, scholars differed in opinion over it, as follows: some of them are of the view that it is valid while some others are of the view that it is invalid. It is actually an issue that is based on ijtihaad (scholars’ personal reasoning), which means that it is allowed to work according to the opinion of those who view the validity of marriage, especially if we take into account the fact that the husband has already consummated the marriage contract with that woman and that she had delivered him a child.

Allah knows best.
