Does sin affect the acceptance of good deeds?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I have a major sin, so will my other deeds be accepted?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. If the one who has a sin has committed major shirk (associating partners with Allah), then no deed of his is accepted until he repents to Allah. But if the sin is less than major shirk, then his supplication is accepted and his acts of worship are accepted, and the sin remains upon him until he repents from it. Yes.
