Question

My question is it permissible to have nikah with girl with whose mother I did zina? Now the story is that I did zina with a woman but the reality is that the woman did zina with me because I was 14 and she had three daughters at that time. Now my family did my nikah with her older daughter, she loves me and I love her and we happy for one another. I already did tawbah for what I did and I ask for forgiveness from Allah Almighty. Now we are in relationship already in nikah but I have a question sometimes in my mind, so is it allowed in Islam that her daughter be my lawful wife or I have to leave her? The zina one time we did almost 12 years passed, after that I never tried to do that with her mother nor her mother tried with me. Kindly answer me with details and references.

Answer

No, she is not halaal for you.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
