Is a married adulterer allowed to live with his wife  while nobody knows about his crime? <\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>By \u201cconvicted\u201d  we mean convicted by the court. If a case remains unnoticed and the  person involved knows that such and such person is committing this sin  he should not propagate the sin. When the individual realizes his sin he  needs to seek God&#8217;s forgiveness and keep it to himself. Please note  that these rules are social. Indulgence in <em>zina<\/em> is of course  sinful. One has to be held answerable before at least the court of the  Almighty. As long as the issue remains between the man and the Almighty  we cannot say he is not allowed to marry a chaste woman or keep a chaste  wife even after committing <em>zina<\/em>. If he is a God-fearing man and  comes to realize his sin he will seek God&#8217;s forgiveness and repent  truly. It is upon God to forgive or punish him. No one is allowed to say  anything to him. Nor even another person who knows the fact. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-14<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6266\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If a person  who has committed fornication is not convicted by the court can he marry  a chaste woman?
