Question:
A person says that he has committed many sins and he is remorseful for them. What should he do to expiate for these deeds?
Answer:
He must repent to Allah, and repentance expiates the evil deeds.[Al-Anfal 8:38] Repentance nullifies what came before it, meaning: repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Repentance is sufficient, unless these sins involve the rights of creation. In that case, he must return the rights to their owners along with the repentance, or seek their forgiveness. Yes.
