The Meaning of the One Who Commits a Major Sin Being Under Allah’s Mercy

Question:
One of the sisters asking says: The people of the Sunnah and the community say that the one who commits a major sin is under the mercy of Allah. How is that?

Answer:
If the major sin is one of shirk (associating partners with Allah), since shirk is the greatest of major sins, Allah does not forgive it . But if the major sin is less than shirk, it is subject to Allah’s will: if He wills, He forgives it, and if He wills, He punishes its doer according to its degree, but he will not enter the Fire, nor will he remain in it eternally.
Rather, he may be punished in the Fire, but he will not remain in it forever, and he may not enter it at all, by the mercy of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). This is the path of the believers: they do not be lax with sins and disobedience, nor do they consider them so great that they think they will not be forgiven or expiated. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
