Question<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Salam. Another question about infidelity and \u2018cheating\u2019. A married woman committed Zina. She made tawbah and feels terrible about it. Her question is whether she should\/has to tell her husband about it or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Zina is one of the major sins in Islam. In the Holy Quran Allah has said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd do not go near to Zina. It is shamelessness and is an evil way.\u201d[1]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is also narrated by Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah said: “The adulterer is not a believer while he is committing adultery, and the thief is not a believer while he is stealing, but there is a chance for repentance; (if he repents, Allah will accept the repentance).”[2]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, one should abstain from such actions and repent for one\u2019s actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In regard to your query, it is not a condition for the repentance to be accepted that you should inform your spouse of the sin that has been committed.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only Allah knows best<\/span><\/p>\n
