أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ فَجَرَ بِامْرَأَةٍ ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا حَلَالًا قَالَ أَوَّلُهُ سِفَاحٌ وَ آخِرُهُ نِكَاحٌ وَ مَثَلُهُ مَثَلُ النَّخْلَةِ أَصَابَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا حَرَاماً ثُمَّ اشْتَرَاهَا بَعْدُ فَكَانَتْ لَهُ حَلَالًا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Ubeydullah Bin Ali Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Whichever man is immoral with a woman, then it is inevitable for him that he marries her, it is Permissible’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The beginning of it is adultery, and the end of it is marriage, and an example of it is an example of the palm tree. Then man attains from its fruits unlawfully, then he buys it afterwards, so that would be Permissible for him (to eat from it onwards)’.
