The Ruling on the Repentance of the Sorcerer and the Zindiq
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is the stronger position regarding the repentance of the sorcerer and the zindiq?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) forgives whoever repents. Whoever repents with a valid repentance, Allah rewards him for it. However, regarding the zindiq and the atheist, we apply the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) to them in this world. As for their repentance between them and Allah, it is accepted by Allah if it is valid, but it does not negate the hudud that are due to them in this world. This is the statement.
