Relying on divine decree for a sin after repentance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it permissible to rely on divine decree for a sin after repentance?

Answer:
He repents and does not mention his sin. When he repents, he does not mention his sin; rather, he should have a good opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Otherwise, what would he be mentioning when he has already repented from it? He should cover his own fault, and Allah will cover it; he should cover his own fault.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
