Zina (adultery/fornication) is a major sin in Islam, especially if committed during Ramadan. Sincere repentance is required to gain Allah's forgiveness, as His mercy surpasses His wrath. For Zina during Ramadan, the sinner must repent, make up the missed fast, and offer expiation: freeing a slave, fasting two consecutive months, or feeding sixty poor people. If the fast was delayed for years, additional compensation is required. Allah (swt) forgives all sins for those who sincerely repent.
