Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man used to prostrate in the outer courtyard of the mosque and rub his head on the ground whenever he went to the shrine of al-Badawi. He has since stopped doing that and stopped going to this shrine. His question is: What must he do now?
Answer:
He must repent to Allah, and whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance. He should repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness, and he must not go to this idol, nor prostrate to it, nor draw near to it, and he should stay away from it. Whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance.[Al-Anfal 8:38]

Say to those who have disbelieved [that] if they cease, what has previously occurred will be forgiven for them
قُل لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِن يَنتَهُوا يُغْفَرْ لَهُم مَّا قَدْ سَلَفَ
