The Ruling on Repeated Repentance and Its Conditions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s article: A young man says that he has violations, then he repents, then he returns to these violations. Is repentance accepted in such a case? Also, what are the conditions of repentance? Does it have conditions?
Answer:
My brother, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Every time you sin, repent to Allah, even if it happens repeatedly. Every time you sin, repent to Allah with a valid repentance that meets its conditions. They are: abandoning the sin, which is called ceasing from the sin; the resolve not to return to it; and regret over what occurred. These are three conditions. Yes.
