If a Muslim repents from a sin while persisting in another, will Allah accept his repentance?

Question : Or if a Muslim repents from a sin while persisting in another. Yes.

Answer : Yes. A commercial transaction, for example. His repentance from what he repented of is accepted. It was also said that it is not accepted, meaning some scholars added a sixth condition to the five conditions, which is that he abandons all sins, not just the specific sin, but every sin. Based on this opinion, if he repents from a sin while persisting in another, his repentance is not accepted. For example, a man repents from zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) but he drinks khamr (intoxicants). According to this view, his repentance from zina is not accepted, because if he were sincere, he would not have disobeyed Allah. If he were sincere in his repentance and return to Allah, he would not have disobeyed Allah with the other sin. And if he repents from riba (usury or interest) but he cheats people.
It is not accepted according to this opinion, but the correct view is that it is accepted, but it is said regarding the one who repents.
As for absolute repentance, it is necessary for his repentance to be that he has abandoned all sins. As for specific, qualified repentance, it is valid from a sin even while persisting in another. Therefore, praise for repentance is only for the one who has abandoned all sins. As for qualification, it is valid from a sin even while persisting in another. So, can we describe the one who repented from zina but drinks khamr as a repentant person in an absolute sense? No, but we say he is a repentant person from zina in a qualified sense. He does not deserve the absolute description by which the repentant are praised; rather, he is praised only to the extent of the repentance that occurred from him.
