The Ruling on Despairing of Forgiveness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
From expiation. Let this be among the major sins, I ask Allah.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible. The apparent meaning of the hadith is that it is not permissible. We dislike regret on the Day of Resurrection. Its apparent meaning is that it is not permissible. Rather, it applies to one who despairs, whether he thanks Allah, or sends blessings upon the Prophet, or combines both, and [Allah] does not forgive
The questioner:
from this major sin.
The Shaykh:
Yes. They know that you will answer. Yes.
