Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does the word "sins" mentioned in the Noble Qur'an include both minor and major sins? And what is the terminology used for minor and major sins?
Answer:
Yes, a sin includes both major and minor sins. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[An-Nisa 4:31]. And: [An-Najm 53:32]. Al-Lamm is the minor sins, the sins that are less than major sins. So if a Muslim avoids major sins, or if he has major sins and repents from them, then Allah forgives him the minor sins. Yes.

Answer:
Yes, a sin includes both major and minor sins. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins and admit you to a noble entrance [into Paradise].
إِن تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَنُدْخِلْكُم مُّدْخَلًا كَرِيمًاThose who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones
الَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَائِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ إِلَّا اللَّمَمَ
