Question:
One of the brothers says: I am a young man who committed a great sin, and my father and my family learned of that sin. They are insistent on taunting me with that sin. What should I do regarding them? And what is my response toward them?
Answer:
You must repent to Allah. If you repent to Allah, it becomes forbidden for them to taunt you with it. If a person repents, it is forbidden to taunt him with the sin, and nothing but good is said about him. Praise be to Allah who guided him. So hasten to repent, display your repentance, and have good hope. After that, it is forbidden for them to taunt you or criticize you for it. Whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance. Yes.
