Deeds that expiate major sins
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: Are there deeds that expiate the major sins that a Muslim commits? And what should a person do if he commits one of these major sins?
Answer:
Major sins are not expiated except by repentance. Major sins are not expiated except by the servant’s repentance or by the pardon of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The pardon of Allah, if the major sin is less than shirk (associating partners with Allah), Allah may pardon the one who committed a major sin less than shirk. Or he repents from the sin. He repents from the sin. So there is no expiation for major sins except by one of two things: either the pardon of Allah, or the repentance of the servant. As for minor sins, they are expiated by many things, as in the evidence. Yes.
