Question:
The questioner says: A person called upon other than Allah and sought aid from other than Him, then he wanted to repent. Is repentance sufficient, or is another action required?
Answer:
Sincere repentance is sufficient, which means returning to the obedience of Allah and abandoning the disobedience of Allah, and resolving not to return to what he repented from—resolving not to return—and feeling regret for what occurred. These are the known conditions of repentance; they are necessary. Repentance is not beneficial unless it gathers these conditions: abandoning the sin, resolving not to return to it, and feeling regret for what occurred. These are the conditions of repentance. Yes.
