سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ فَجَرَ بِامْرَأَةٍ ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا فَقَالَ حَلَالٌ أَوَّلُهُ سِفَاحٌ وَ آخِرُهُ نِكَاحٌ أَوَّلُهُ حَرَامٌ وَ آخِرُهُ حَلَالٌ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al hakam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who was immoral with a woman, then it was inevitable for him that he marries her. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Permissible. Its beginning was adultery and its end was marriage. Its beginning was Prohibited and its end was Permissible’.
