Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Whenever I commit the secret habit, I perform wudu' (the ablution for prayer) and pray, then I seek forgiveness. Will Allah forgive me or not?
Answer:
Yes, seek forgiveness and repent to Allah. Allah forgives, even if the sin is repeated on your part. Do not despair of Allah's mercy. However, resolve to leave it, seek help from Allah, and do not return to it. But if your self and Satan overcome you and you fall into it a second time, do not despair of Allah's mercy. Repent to Allah the Exalted and Majestic and repeat the repentance.
