The Repentance of the Sinner at the End of His Life

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Thamer from al-Hasa says: Some people say that it is permissible for one who is an open sinner or a transgressor to declare repentance at the end of his life, and that if he dies, Allah the Exalted will admit him to Paradise. What is the validity of this statement?

Answer:
If he was committing a sin other than disbelief and other than shirk (associating partners with Allah), and he repented to Allah before the soul was extracted, before the soul was extracted, before the throes of death, then Allah will accept his repentance. As Allah says in the hadith:
Indeed Allah accepts the repentance of a slave as long as (his soul does not reach his throat).إن الله يقبل توبة العبد ما لم يغرغر
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3537Hasan (Darussalam)
. That is, as long as his soul has not reached the throat due to death. Yes.

The presenter:
Yes, may Allah reward you and reward you with good.
