Does God, the Exalted, forgive an adulterer?
question
I have an ethical question. The question is: Does God, the Exalted, forgive an adulterer? Please explain how one can repent to God, the Glorified, for the sin he has committed.
Concise answer

Dear User,

God, the Compassionate and the Merciful, has promised to forgive all the sins of the penitent, even the sin of associating with Him a partner.[1]

It is necessary to note that repentance from adultery or fornication is not different from repentance from other sins. What is important in Tawbah (repentance) is to be remorseful and to have a firm intention not to repeat the sin.

For further information about repentance, refer to the following indexes on our website:
