Peace be upon you. The prohibition of marrying a woman who has been involved in zina with a married man is a permanent one, according to the teachings of Ayatollah Sistani and other scholars. This prohibition remains regardless of whether the individual was aware of the woman's marital status at the time of the act. Therefore, it is not permissible for you to contract a temporary marriage with her. It is important to seek knowledge and guidance in such matters to avoid future complications. May you be successful in all good.
