The Difference Between Forgiveness and Mercy

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, what is the difference between forgiveness and mercy?

Answer:
Forgiveness for those among us who have committed sins, and mercy encompasses everyone; it encompasses success in the future and forgiveness for past sins. Mercy is broader.
