The Method of Repentance and Getting Rid of Major Sins
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A person has fallen into some major sins, such as falsely accusing chaste women of zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) and committing zina, and the like, may Allah protect us from that. What is the method for getting rid of these major sins? May Allah grant you success and keep your steps firm.
Answer:
This is what happened to him: major sins. If these major sins are personal to him, such as drinking khamr (intoxicants), theft, and the like, then he repents to Allah between himself and Allah, and he returns the injustices to their owners if he wronged anyone or took their money, he returns their money to them.
As for if this involves a hadd (fixed Qur'anic punishment) from the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) of Allah, then he refers this to the Shari'ah court and to the one in authority. But if he covers up his own sin, if he covers up his own sin and he has no rights owed to people, and he covers up his sin and repents to Allah, then that is sufficient, and covering up is required. So he repents to Allah between himself and Allah, he improves his deeds, and he increases in righteous deeds, and Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents. Yes.
