The Ruling on Postponing Repentance Until a Specific Time
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Regarding repentance, Honorable Shaykh, some people mention that it must be after a prescribed act, or after a righteous act, such as Friday, or after fasting, or after Hajj.
Answer:
Never. When a Muslim sins, he repents to Allah. He hastens to repent and does not postpone it until after Hajj. Rather, he hastens to repent to Allah from sins and disobedience, and he does not delay his repentance until he performs Hajj or 'Umrah, or until a specific month or a specific time arrives. Yes.
