Acceptance of repentance from one sin while persisting in another
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person repents from one sin but persists in another, is his repentance accepted?
Answer:
Yes, repentance is accepted from the sin, even if he is persisting in another sin. His repentance is accepted for the sin from which he repented, and the name of the other sin remains upon him. He must repent from all sins, but the acceptance of repentance is not conditioned on his repenting from all sins. Rather, his repentance is accepted for what he repented from, and the other sin remains upon him, so he must renew his repentance for it. If he repents from all sins at once, that is better. Yes.
