Is the one who has no sins raised in status?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : As for the one who has no sins, is he raised in status by being permitted three years, and as for the one who has sins, is he prohibited from it?
The Shaykh : We seek help from Allah. Who among us is without sins?
The questioner : I have given you the idea, and I ask Allah.
The Shaykh : However, in other hadiths there is the forgiveness of sins and transgressions, such as saying "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi" (Glory be to Allah and His praise) one hundred times, and others. The scholars say that if this deed, for which the forgiveness of sins is prescribed, coincides with a state where there are no sins—and that is rarer than red sulfur—then it results in the raising of degrees.
