The questioner:
Is the hadithSunan Ibn Majah 4250Da’if (Darussalam) authentic, and what are the conditions of repentance, Honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
The meaning is correct, but as for the wording being reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I do not know of that. However, the meaning is correct: that the one who repents from a sin with a valid repentance has his sin forgiven and becomes as if he had no sin. Is the meaning correct?
The questioner:
And the conditions of repentance.
The Shaykh:
The conditions of repentance are three: abandoning the sin, staying away from it, and resolving not to return to it again. Regret for what has passed and what occurred. These are the conditions of repentance. Yes.
