If you give money to a man in exchange for his repentance, and then he returns to his sin, do you have the right to demand the money back?

Question : If it is said to a man, “We will pay off your debt on the condition that you repent and abandon the sin, and if you return to that sin, what we paid on your behalf becomes a debt you owe us,” and the man returns to that sin again, is he required to pay it back when they demand the debt? And if the man denies that they conditioned repayment on him, or that they would not claim it back from him—meaning, if he repents, they would not claim back what they gave him—

Answer : because it is not a condition of repentance that one does not return to the sin. Do you understand? Repentance is valid even if one returns to the sin later, as long as he has resolved not to return to it; his repentance is valid. Accordingly, he is entitled to what was paid to him.
