Question:
The questioner says, may Allah bless you, Sa'id from Riyadh asks: "Repentance annuls what came before it." Does this also apply to some of the major sins?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. Repentance leaves no deed behind. If repentance is sincere, no sin remains with it, provided it is sincere and fulfills three conditions. First, ceasing the sin and abandoning it. Second, the resolve not to return to it. Third, regret for what has passed and what has occurred from you. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
