Is the one who sins, then repents, then returns to the sin considered a hypocrite?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is the one who sins, then repents, then returns to the sin again considered a hypocrite?

Answer:
No. A believer may sin and repent, then Satan and his soul, which commands evil, may overcome him, and he may fall into the sin a second time. He should not despair or lose hope. He should repent to Allah a second, third, and fourth time. He should repent to Allah the Exalted and Majestic every time he sins. He should not despair and say, "I repented, then I returned to the sin, and I have no repentance." That is from Satan. That is from Satan. He tells him, "You have no repentance." He should repent to Allah and repeat the repentance. Yes.
