Does the repentance of one who insults the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and then repents, is it accepted?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: It is the belief of the people of the Sunnah and the community that there is no sin for which a servant does not have a path to repentance. Does this include the one who repents from insulting the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
Yes, everyone who repents [is accepted], but the one who insults the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does not have the hadd (fixed punishment) dropped from him. As for repentance, if it is sincere between him and Allah, Allah accepts it, but the hadd is not dropped from him. Yes.
