Is repentance specific to major sins, or does it also apply to minor sins?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is sincere repentance specific to major sins, or does it also apply to minor sins? And is seeking forgiveness and doing good deeds that erase sins sufficient for minor sins?

Answer:
One must repent from all sins, both major and minor. If one does not repent from minor sins, they become major sins. So, repent from all sins and do not be lax regarding minor sins.
