Question
Before her marriage, a woman was in love with another man. However, circumstances did not allow them to be married. The man had given the woman a pendant as a gift. She kept this item with her even after she was married. She occasionally looks at it and reminisces over her past relationship. She has now several children, yet she remains attached to the pendant. Is her act permissible or impermissible?
Answer
The woman's act and attitude regarding the necklace are tantamount to zina. Each time she looks and touches it and reminisces about her past haraam relationship, she is being unfaithful to her husband. This infidelity most certainly eliminates barkat and incurs the Wrath of Allah Ta'ala.
