Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Shaykh Salih, says: Everyone is facing the last ten days of this month, and some have been negligent. What should this person who has been negligent do, Honorable Shaykh? And what do you advise him?
Answer:
We say that the door of repentance is open, so he should repent and make up what remains of this month. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is generous and bountiful; He forgives sins and accepts repentance from His servants. So do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Even if he has been negligent and done wrong, he should hasten to make a sincere repentance. Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, is near and responsive to supplication[Ash-Shuraa 42:25]. Yes.

And it is He who accepts repentance from his servants and pardons misdeeds, and He knows what you do.
وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَعْفُو عَنِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
