The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on my saying to a person, “May Allah forgive you for what has come before of your sin and what has come after,” as a supplication for him, or as a form of optimism?
The Shaykh:
I do not know of anything that prevents this, yes.
The questioner:
That is the end.
The Shaykh:
If your body is the news.
