As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh

The act in reference is immoral, evil and abhorred. The husband led his wife to commit an immoral act for which he should be shameful. He should make tauba from that immoral act and leading his wife to the immoral act.[i] However, the lie to commit such an immoral, evil and abhorred act does not lead one to kufr. The immoral act has weakened the persons Imaan. If he makes sincere tauba, his Imaan will once again be strengthened.
