Zina is a huge sin .. i am not sure if there is forgiveness for this in Islam ... Both Mehwish and Shawar are guilty of it and both should be punished equally ... Shawar's downfall should start when his wife enters but i doubt Khalil would show his kind being punished
Mateen saab might have had respect but he was not in peace ...maybe his daughter will tell us more about his suffering
I'm not denying zina is a massive sin, but Islamically no sin is too big for forgiveness as long as you sincerely repent.
There's a hadith about an unmarried woman who got pregnant, I read it years ago so I'm not sure how to find it now but from what I remember:
The woman went to the Prophet (pbuh) and confessed her sin and that she's pregnant, she then asked for the hudd punishment (stoning). The Prophet (pbuh) refused and told her to go away and look after herself so her child is born healthy. After she gave birth to the child she came back to the Prophet (pbuh) and said she's given birth to a healthy baby and now can she be punished for her sin. The Prophet (pbuh) sent her away again and told her to look after the baby because it needs a mother's milk. Once the child was too old for breastmilk the woman went to the Prophet (pbuh) again and asked to be punished. At this point, the Prophet (pbuh) had to carry out the punishment because despite sending her away she kept coming back and asking for the punishment.
This woman was given three opportunities to move on with her life, before the punishment was finally given.
Forgiveness is preferred in Islam, we're supposed to allow people the opportunity to fix their mistakes and live a better life.
And yes, Mateen wasn't at peace but that's a personal matter and a personal struggle. Mehwish, as a woman, will not have the luxury to only struggle with her own guilty conscience. She will also have to deal with other people's judgment and their refusal to let her move forward.
