Folklore and tradition suggest that she was a prostitute. However, despite this belief among some people there is absolutely no evidence in scripture that she was anything even approaching a prostitute. As she is not mentioned in secular history and only mentioned in passing in non-canonical gospels, we only have the gospel stories on which to base our knowledge and these do not tell us her 'sin'. Therefore, the simple answer is that we just don't know.
