Q: I have a friend who entered an unlawful relationship about 7 months ago. She ended the relationship after two months due to the guilt. She feels very impure and cries a lot about her sin. She claims to believe in Allah's forgiveness, but is unable to bear herself. She breaks down a lot and feels like she is no longer a good and pure woman. She also feels like it is wrong to put it behind her. Is it possible that Allah has wiped away her sin and purified her?
A: Definitely Allah Ta`ala has forgiven her.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Q: Is it possible that Allah has purified her? And, is she allowed to, after making sincere Isthigfaar, put it behind her and not think of it often?
A: When Allah forgives then He purifies as well.
She should not think about it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
