Ramadan and the Persistence of Repentance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does repentance, Honorable Shaykh, have a special merit in Ramadan, or is repentance valid at all times?
Answer:
Repentance is valid at all times, but it has a special merit in Ramadan if one intends to persist in it, rather than it being only for Ramadan. If one repents in Ramadan and then returns to his evil deeds after Ramadan, his repentance is not accepted. So, he should repent to Allah in Ramadan and persist in it until death. Yes.
