Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our brother has a lengthy case, the summary of which is that he committed a number of sins, and now he has repented to Allah and seeks your success, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Praise be to Allah who has granted you repentance. We ask Him, (Glorified and Exalted is He), to keep us and you steadfast in His obedience. It is obligatory for you to persist in repentance and to stay away from committing forbidden acts and sins. You must also increase in voluntary acts of worship and seeking forgiveness. Allah the Exalted said:
And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night. Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeedsوَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ
[Hud 11:114]
This applies to obligatory acts, and likewise to voluntary acts, due to the generality of Allah’s saying: “Indeed, good deeds remove bad deeds.” We ask Allah for you and for us to persist in repentance, to remain steadfast in obedience, and to stay away from sin. Yes.
