Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He also asks: Does the statement of Allah the Exalted apply to this apostate after his repentance: [Al-A'raf 7:153] [At-Tawbah 9:11] and His statement [At-Tawbah 9:103-104] up to the last of the verses that speak about repentance?
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, it applies to him. If he repents and returns to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), he will be a believer and with the believers, by the statement of Allah the Exalted:[Az-Zumar 39:53].
The questioner : May Allah reward you. This questioner is from the Yemen Arab Republic; his name is symbolized by the letters F, M, Q.
But those who committed misdeeds and then repented after them and believed - indeed your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.
والذين عملوا السيئات ثم تابوا من بعدها وءامنوا إن ربك من بعدها لغفور رحيمBut if they repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, then they are your brothers in religion; and We detail the verses for a people who know.
فإن تابوا وأقاموا الصلاة وءاتوا الزكاة فإخوانكم في الدين ونفصّل الأيات لقوم يعلمون(103) Take, [O, Muhammad], from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase, and invoke [Allah 's blessings] upon them. Indeed, your invocations are reassurance for them. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing. (104) Do they not know that it is Allah who accepts repentance from His servants and receives charities and that it is Allah who is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful?
خذ من أموالهم صدقة تطهرهم وتزكيهم بها وصل عليهم إن صلاتك سكن لهم والله سميع عليم * ألم يعلموا أن الله هو يقبل التوبة عن عباده ويأخذ الصدقات وأن الله هو التواب الرحيمThe Shaykh : Yes, yes, it applies to him. If he repents and returns to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), he will be a believer and with the believers, by the statement of Allah the Exalted:
Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."
قل يا عبادي الذين أسرفوا على أنفسهم لا تقنطوا من رحمة الله إن الله يغفر الذنوب جميعاً إنه هو الغفور الرحيمThe questioner : May Allah reward you. This questioner is from the Yemen Arab Republic; his name is symbolized by the letters F, M, Q.
