The Indication in the Story of the Magicians of Pharaoh

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Those who argued for giving the magician a chance to repent cited the story of the faith and repentance of the magicians of Pharaoh. He asks: What is the indication in that? May Allah grant you success.

Answer:
Yes, Allah accepted their repentance; Allah accepted their repentance. So we do not compare every magician to them. These men were truthful in their repentance, and Allah knew their truthfulness. As for others, we do not know whether they are truthful or deceivers, so we do not include them with the magicians of Pharaoh. Yes.
