Acceptance of Repentance When a Sin Is Repeated
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a servant falls into sins and then repents, and then falls into them a second time, is his repentance permissible?
Answer:
Yes, as long as he repeats the sin, he should not repeat the repentance [in a way that implies it is futile], nor should he despair, and Satan should not whisper to him saying, "You have no repentance." Rather, he should repent to Allah.[Ali 'Imran 3:135] [Ali 'Imran 3:135]. So if he repents from the sin and then his self or Satan overpowers him and he falls into it a second time, let him hasten to repent. Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents, whether it is the first time, the second time, or the hundredth time; there is no limit to that. Yes.
