Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: The hadith of the one who killed ninety-nine people, then Allah accepted his repentance, is confusing to me, given that we know that the rights of creation are based on dispute. So how can he be killed and no retaliation be taken from him for these people?
Answer:
They did not demand retaliation from him, and this killing of them occurred in a state of ignorance and in a state of arrogance. So when he repented, Allah accepted his repentance; when he repented with a sincere repentance, Allah accepted his repentance.
