Answer:
You have understood the matter: if he repents between himself and Allah, and his repentance is valid, Allah will accept his repentance in the Hereafter. However, in this world, the hudud are not dropped from him; the hudud are not dropped from him. As for the Hereafter, his case is up to Allah. If he was sincere in his repentance, then Allah will accept it. If he was a liar, then Allah knows best regarding his intention. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
