Answer:
You have heard this regarding what is between him and Allah. Allah knows it best. If his repentance is sincere, Allah will accept it from him. If it is not sincere, Allah knows that. As for the prescribed punishment, it is not dropped from him. 'Umar said, "Do not ask them to repent." He said, "Kill every male and female sorcerer." The narrator said, "So we killed three female sorcerers." He did not say, "Ask them to repent." And Hafsah did not release the slave girl who had cast a spell on her, but she killed her, because he is not to be believed, even if he displays repentance, for he is not to be trusted that he is not deceiving. Yes.
