Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says: How do we reconcile the hadiths that indicate that not openly committing sin is a cause for forgiveness, with those that indicate the opposite, namely the absence of forgiveness? And may Allah reward you with good?
Answer:
All sins are eligible for forgiveness except shirk (associating partners with Allah). Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:48] So all sins are eligible for forgiveness. Three days. As long as it is less than shirk. Or from or. Whether one is open about it or it is hidden, it is eligible for forgiveness, but the one who conceals it is closer to repentance and modesty before Allah (Mighty and Majestic) than the one who is open. Yes.

Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ
