The Conditions of Repentance for One Who Turns Back from It and Returns to the Sin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Uthman says: What are the conditions of repentance for one who sometimes withdraws from repentance and returns to what he was accustomed to?
Answer:
He repeats repentance every time he sins; he hastens to repent and does not say, "I repented and then withdrew from repentance," and then he abandons repentance. It is not obligatory for him to repent only once; every time he sins, and every time repentance becomes obligatory upon him, he hastens to perform it.
