The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person participated in a bad project that has multiplied burdens and evils, and its effects have spread widely so that he cannot stop them.
The Shaykh:
They can.
The questioner:
Stop the effects. He says: Does he have any repentance after that if these effects continue?
The Shaykh:
Repentance is required, and he has repentance. No one is without repentance. Who would turn him away or prevent him from repenting? But he must declare that he has repented from this matter and that he is innocent of it. He must disavow it. If he had put money into it, he withdraws it. He does not help it, and he cuts off the support that aids this evil. He cuts it off. Yes. He does what he can to rid himself of this sin. Yes.
