The Ruling on Seeking Forgiveness After a Deliberate Sin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If one commits a deliberate sin and then says after[Al-Baqarah 2:286], is it valid?
Answer:
It is not an error nor a matter of concern, but if he intends to err us with the sin, he should say, asking his Lord: “O Allah, forgive me my sin, O Allah, accept my repentance.” He must be sincere, repent to Allah, feel remorse, cease the sin, and resolve not to return to it. He must be sincere in his supplication, and Allah will accept his repentance.
If one commits a deliberate sin and then says after
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَاAnswer:
It is not an error nor a matter of concern, but if he intends to err us with the sin, he should say, asking his Lord: “O Allah, forgive me my sin, O Allah, accept my repentance.” He must be sincere, repent to Allah, feel remorse, cease the sin, and resolve not to return to it. He must be sincere in his supplication, and Allah will accept his repentance.
