Question:
This questioner asks, Shaykh, about repentance and its conditions, and says: I hope you will clarify, Shaykh Salih, the validity of the acceptance of repentance from a sick person whose recovery is not expected?
Answer:
Repentance is returning to Allah the Exalted, returning from disobedience to obedience in order to draw near to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Three conditions are required for it so that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, may accept it. The first condition is ceasing the sin, that is, abandoning the sin and staying away from it. The second condition is resolving not to return to it. The second condition is resolving not to return to it. The third condition is feeling regret for what occurred from him. If these conditions are met, the repentance is valid and Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, accepts it.
