The validity of the first repentance when a sin is repeated
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Then he repented with sincere repentance, then he returned to that sin again. Is his first repentance considered valid? And what is the cause of the repetition of the sin by the servant?
Answer:
His first repentance is valid, if he was unable to prevent himself from returning to it, but his desires, his soul, and Satan, who incites to evil, overcame him, so he fell into it a second time. In other cases, he should not despair of the mercy of Allah; he should repent, repeat the repentance a second time, repeat the repentance a second time. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
