Question:
How do we reconcile the fact that the good deeds of disbelievers do not benefit them in the Hereafter with the entry of the prostitute into Paradise because of the dog?
Answer:
This is a matter of repentance, my brother. This is repentance. Allah accepted her repentance. Also, the prostitute is not a disbeliever. The prostitute is not a disbeliever in the first place. She is a fornicator, and a fornicator does not become a disbeliever. So she is a believing fornicator who committed a major sin. When she did good, Allah forgave her. Yes.
