Bismihi ta'āla

Yes, she can marry. Why should she not be able to marry. She did haram, and repented. None of this has anything to do with her being a Seyyidah, and we all know that Islam does not give superiority to any race or group of people or person. The only person that is better than others is he/she with better piety.

Zina . Qur'anic Verse . Punishment

I was shocked by the verse regarding Zina and want to know if family members can administer punishment, or is that solely the responsibility of a judge?

Bismihi ta'āla

No, a family member cannot do that. It is the authority of the Islamic judge, in an Islamic government.

The family members must all just try to advice and guide.

Allah (SWT) Helps His sincere servants to avoid damaging themselves when they are sincerely seeking His help. Nevertheless, it does not mean that He stops every sinner or criminal. Human beings were granted intellect which guides them to the right as well as the messengers who guided people to the right path and warned them from the wrong ways. Every human being is responsible of his own deeds. Allah (SWT) Helps those who want to do good, and even protect sincere servants from falling in sinful acts under certain circumstances, but Allah Has granted human beings the option to decide their their own deeds with out any pressure from Him and Promised to reward the good deeds and punish the criminals in their own evil deeds.

Sometimes, either for that person's sake, for the sake of someone else (such as a victim), or for reasons that we do not know about. However, not always. The line between free will and fate can be blurry.

Brother . test . Temptation . Gender . Zina . Salam alaikum

I heard from my brother that the final and most challenging test for a Mu’min and Muslim is resisting the temptation of the opposite gender and avoiding Zina. Is this true?

It tends to be a big challenge for people, especially in youth. Often, as people get older, that particular temptation becomes less, and other temptations come to the forefront. (Exceptions apply!)

However, although that is a common temptation, there is no one single challenge that everyone faces equally - our temptations are as diverse as ourselves. Possibly, your brother is going through a difficult time managing this aspect of himself, and this is why he said that.

Can a Muslim man marry a Christian woman with whom he has committed Zina if they both sincerely repent and refrain from Zina afterwards? Additionally, what steps should she take to repent as a Christian?

Zina . Divorce . Kaffara . Marriage . Woman

If a married woman commits Zina and sincerely repents, can she marry that man after a divorce or widowhood? Are there any atonement options or other measures she should consider?

Bismihi ta'ala

No, she cannot marry that man at all, and under any circumstance.

Of course, there is a slight difference of opinion among our esteemed jurists, so it is best for her to also confirm the fatwa of her Marja' taqleed.

Zina . Black Magic . Theft . Sin . Conversion to Islam

Do all sins, including major sins like Zina, black magic, or stealing, get automatically forgiven upon conversion to Islam?

Sins which were between you and Allah and do not involve rights of others will be forgiven on becoming a Muslim, but sins involving rights of other need giving back their rights to others, either themselves, and if they are dead then to their inheritors.

Does Surah Noor state that a girl, who previously committed Zina and repented, can only marry a man who has also committed Zina, as it indicates that pious men are meant for pious women?

No.

‘Sinners who repented and left sinful acts can marry like others. The Hadeeth states: The repented from the sin is like the person who has not committed the sin).

Husband . Zina . Mental Illness

My husband is a mental health patient who has committed Zina many times without any feeling of remorse or guilt. What should I do and what are the Islamic options open to me in this situation?

Bismihi ta'ala

It is very sad that your husband suffers mental illness, and may Allah ta'ala grant him shifa`.

Whether there is a relation between his mental health and his promiscuity and committing adultery is also irrelevant, and this means you must not allow yourself or the family (if you have children) to endure this.

Your duty is to do nahi 'an al-munkar, inviting him to tawbah, and I am sure you have tried this, as you mentioned he has no remorse or guilt.

If you and your family or his family have confronted him about this, and you feel no change is being made, then your option might be divorce. You do not deserve to be continuously mistreated. You also need to take care of your mental well-being, your piety and your spiritual atmosphere, to safeguard yourself and to distance yourself from such acts.

He might be a good person in other aspects, but this kind of lifestyle is not at all befitting for any Muslim or person of religion.

Give him an ultimatum, and act upon it.

With prayers for your success.

Zina
