Question:
This questioner, Abu 'Abd al-Rahman Mustafa, says: Shaykh Salih, what is the path of repentance for one who has committed violations? Is the door of repentance open at all times? And what are the conditions of repentance? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
Repentance, yes, is required. If you have committed a sin, hasten to repent to Allah, return to Allah, and seek forgiveness for what you did. Allah accepts repentance,[Ash-Shuraa 42:25]. The conditions of repentance are three. The first condition is abandoning the sin, leaving the sin permanently. The second condition is resolving not to return to it. The third condition is regret over what happened to you. Yes.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَعْفُو عَنِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
