How does one repent from committing sodomy?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A person wants to repent from committing sodomy. What must he do to repent from this act?

Answer:
The known conditions of repentance from every sin are: first, to abandon the sin and leave it off completely, and to cut off the means that lead to it. It is not enough to leave the sin while remaining attached to the causes that lead to this crime, such as free mixing with open sinners, letting the gaze wander, and other causes of trial. Rather, he must distance himself from the crime and its causes. This is the first condition. The second condition is that he resolves not to return to it for the rest of his life.
He resolves not to return to it for the rest of his life. If he intends in his heart that he will return to it a second time at another time, then this is a temporary repentance that is not accepted. The third condition is regret over what happened from him, shame before Allah, and fear of Allah the Exalted. These are three conditions for repentance from every sin. If one of them is missing, the repentance is not valid. Yes.
