Question:
A girl and a boy have done kissing , sucking n see nude now they are very guilty about this and want to correct it ;
1) can they marry
2) suggest how they can correct their mistake (suggest Kaffaarah)
Its very important , please reply soon
Answer:
- It will be permissible for them to marry each other if there are no Shar’i restrictions preventing them from this marriage, rather it would be better if they do so.
- Firstly they should sincerely repent to the Almighty Allah for their wrongdoing. Secondly, although no particular type or amount of Kaffaarah is specified for this wrongdoing, they should discharge some amount of Sadaqah in expiation for this wrongdoing which will hopefully lighten the load of the sin earned through it.
And Allah Ta’ala knows best
