The Conditions of Repentance and the Ruling on Temporary Repentance

Question:
And may Allah bless you. Honorable Shaykh, this person is asking about the hadith , and what are the conditions of repentance in that?

Answer:
Yes, this was mentioned in the hadith that because Allah erases his sin through repentance, so he becomes like one who has no sin. This is from the favor of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The conditions of repentance are three. The first is ceasing the sin, meaning abandoning the sin. A person does not seek forgiveness and repent with his tongue while he remains committed to the sin. Rather, along with his seeking forgiveness and repentance with his tongue, he also repents in action by avoiding this sin from which he repented and staying away from it. The second condition is the resolve not to return to it. As for temporary repentance, where a person repents at a specific time and then returns, or in a specific place and then returns to the sin, this repentance is not accepted because it is temporary.
The obligatory requirement in repentance is that it be continuous, not temporary. The second condition is the resolve not to return to this sin. If it is in his intention that he will return to it at another time or in another place, then his repentance is not accepted. The third condition is regret over what has passed.
He regrets the sins he committed and fears their punishment. This is evidence of the sincerity of the repentance. And if the repentance involves the rights of the created beings, such that he wronged them, or took their money, or [did something else], then there is a fourth condition, which is that he delivers the right to the one to whom it belongs and returns the injustice to its owner. Yes.
