Question:
This person asks, may Allah preserve you: What are the seven destructive sins, and what should one do if he is afflicted with some of them?

The seven destructive sins are shirk (associating partners with Allah), consuming riba (usury or interest), consuming the wealth of orphans, turning one’s back on the day of battle, falsely accusing chaste, unaware women of fornication, bearing false witness, and speaking falsely. Yes, these are destructive sins, meaning they are ruinous. It is obligatory for one who falls into any of them to repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) accepts the repentance of one who repents from major sins and others. Yes.
