The questioner:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, for these beautiful words, may Allah reward you. These are some of the questions that came in during this session. This questioner says: What is the meaning of being saved from the Fire, which is mentioned in the virtue of the Day of 'Arafah?
The Shaykh:
Being saved from the Fire is deliverance, deliverance from the Fire. That is what being saved means.
The questioner:
And he says: What about the one who commits sins after that?
The Shaykh:
Sins differ; there are major sins and minor sins. As for the major sins, they are not expiated and not forgiven except through repentance. As for the minor sins, they are expiated by avoiding the major sins,[An-Nisa 4:31]. Yes.

إِن تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَنُدْخِلْكُم مُّدْخَلًا كَرِيمًا
