Declaring minor sins forgiven by maintaining the obligatory acts and avoiding major sins

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A fasting person who says, if he dies or does not find [the means].

Answer:
Yes. Yes. Good evening. His case is referred to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If he has good deeds, if he guards the obligatory acts, if he guards the obligatory acts, then Allah expiates his minor sins,
If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sinsإِن تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ
[An-Nisa 4:31]
. So if he guards the obligatory acts,
The five prayers, from Friday to Friday, and from Ramadan to Ramadan, are an expiation for what is between them, if the major sins are avoidedالصلوات الخمس، الجمعة إلى الجمعة، رمضان إلى رمضان كفارة لما بينهن إذا اجتنبت الكبائر
, and Allah the Exalted said
And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night. Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeedsوَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ
[Hud 11:114]
, then the minor sins are expiated by avoiding the major sins and by guarding the obligatory acts. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
