Ask an Alim

Will I be forgiven by ALLAH without seeking forgiveness from my husband…

Q:

Slam sir I m 35 yrs old married women and due to some clashes with my husband I was living in my parent’s home for 4 months during this time I masturbated one time and asked forgiveness from ALLAH and now I am worried that
(1)Should I also have to seek forgiveness from my husband
(2) Should i have to tell him about this act?
(3) Will I be forgiven by ALLAH without seeking forgiveness from my husband kindly tell me…

A:

Waalaykum salam.

1) No you don’t. It is something between you and Allah and you should
finish it there.

2) You aren’t obliged and also not adviced to tell him. Because you have repented over it and InshaAllah it’s all in the past now.

3)Ofcourse. When you commit a sin that is not violating someone else’s rights, it’s solely between you and Allah (azj), therefore just ask for forgiveness and real forgiveness is when you never ever go back to that sin again.

Good luck
