A few years ago before I got
married I did a very bad deed: I was chatting with a non-mahram and we finally
had an affair but only virtual, nothing physical. After a few months his wife
found out about this and she asked me to take an oath and tell the truth. I was
so scared ... Since i was still young i was afraid that if my parents find out they
would scold me... So I took an oath on the Quran that I did not have anything with her
husband and she believed me. Since then i feel so guilty... I do make lots of
istighfar. But the question is: Do I have to tell his wife to forgive me? Or
can i carry on with my istighfar? jazakAllah khair for helping me.
