Question:
You mentioned the conditions of repentance, Shaykh. It would be appreciated if you would remind our brothers of them? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The scholars have mentioned the conditions of repentance, and they are repeatedly mentioned in this program. The conditions of repentance are three. First, abandoning the sin, which they refer to as ceasing from the sin. Yes, yes.
A person does not repent from his tongue while he remains upon his sin; rather, he abandons it. The second condition is that he resolves not to return to it. If it is in his intention that he will return to it after a period, then this is not a valid repentance, because it is a temporary repentance. Therefore, the repentance must be sincere, for the entirety of one's life.
The third condition is that he feels remorse for what occurred from him, that he feels remorse for what occurred from him. If he does not feel remorse, then his repentance is not valid. And if this sin is between him and people, if there are injustices to people with him, whether of wealth or honor, then in addition to these three conditions, there is a fourth condition, which is that he returns the rights to their owners and the injustices to their owners, and seeks their forgiveness. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
