Repentance from Sin and Its Conditions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Mustafa from Jeddah says: I sin, and by Allah, I regret the sin and then I return to it a second time. Pray for me, O Shaykh, for guidance. What is obligatory for me in this matter?
Answer:
It is obligatory for you to leave the sins and not return to them. One of the conditions for the validity of repentance is that one resolves not to return to the sin. You resolve not to return to it, and Allah the Exalted will help you. There should be no weakness or cowardice in you, nor should you open a door for Satan against you. Repent to Allah with a valid repentance that fulfills its conditions: you abandon the sin, resolve not to return to it, and regret what happened from you. Yes.
