Title: Taubah

Question: (1) I had sex with a boy when I was a child out of curiosity after watching a few man watching porn. We did it for pleasure, not because we were attracted to each other? When we realized our mistake we stopped. Should I tell my parents as they will be disappointed and gravely hurt? Should I tell anyone at all? (2) Can I marry? (3) Can I be forgiven as I have never done it again? (4) If I marry then should I tell the women before/after the marriage or not? Please give me an answer in the light of Hadith and Quran.

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 962/755/D=1434) (1) It is necessary to do taubah and istighfar from this sin and not to repeat it again in future. There is no need to disclose it to the parents or anyone else. (2) If your virility is intact you should marry. (3) Do taubah and istighfar extensively until you are sure that Allah has forgiven you. (4) There is no need to tell about it to your wife after or before marriage. Do not think about it and do not mention it to anyone. التائب من الذنب كمن لا ذنب له . A person who repents from his sin he is like one who has done no sin.
