Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He asks: Are the expiators expiators of sins, as reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Ibn Majah 3812Sahih (Darussalam) they are wiped away Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3460Hasan (Darussalam) if you avoid the major sins? He says: My question is, if a person has a major sin among the major sins and he acts upon this hadith, is he deprived of its virtue, as well as the expiators that are in its ruling?
The Shaykh:
He gets the reward of the dhikr, but the expiation of major sins does not occur except through repentance, or through Allah’s pardon of them. Yes.
The questioner:
And the minor ones, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Minor sins are expiated by fulfilling the obligatory duties, as He the Exalted and Majestic said:[Hud 11:114] The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Mishkat al-Masabih 564, so the obligatory duties expiate minor sins. Yes.
He asks: Are the expiators expiators of sins, as reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Whoever says: Subhan Allahi wa bi hamdihi (Glory and praise is to Allah) one hundred times
مَنْ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍhis sins shall be pardoned, even if they were like the foam of the sea.
عنه خطاياه ولو كانت مثل زبد البحرThe Shaykh:
He gets the reward of the dhikr, but the expiation of major sins does not occur except through repentance, or through Allah’s pardon of them. Yes.
The questioner:
And the minor ones, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Minor sins are expiated by fulfilling the obligatory duties, as He the Exalted and Majestic said:
And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night. Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeeds
وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِThe five [daily] prayers, Friday to Friday and Ramadan to Ramadan make atonement for what has happened since the previous one when major sins have been avoided.
الصلوات الخمس، الجمعة إلى الجمعة، رمضان إلى رمضان مكفرات لما بينهن إذا اجتنبت الكبائر
