Yes, it is permissible to marry your zina partner, but only under an essential condition:
both individuals must sincerely repent (make tawbah) before the marriage.
Allah clearly warns in the Qur’an (Surah An-Nur 24:3) that a person involved in zina is not suitable for a pure believer until repentance occurs.
True repentance means stopping the sin completely, feeling genuine remorse, and firmly intending never to return to it.
Once both people sincerely turn back to Allah, they are no longer considered among those persisting in sin, and marriage between them becomes lawful.
Many scholars from classical Islamic jurisprudence agree on this condition based on Qur’an and authentic teachings.
After sincere tawbah, Islam does not block a halal path—rather, it encourages marriage as a means of protection, stability, and righteousness. If the woman is pregnant, then according to many scholars, the marriage should take place but intimacy is delayed until after childbirth.
Islam is a religion of mercy, and Allah accepts repentance from those who return to Him sincerely. As Allah says: “Indeed, Allah loves those who repent and purify themselves” (Qur’an 2:222).
O Allah, grant us sincere repentance, purify our hearts, guide us to halal relationships, and bless our future with righteousness. Ameen 🤲
And Allah knows best.
