Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
No, but add one more, Shaykh. You are in Makkah and I am from Riyadh. May Allah preserve you, Shaykh. Regarding abstaining from major sins and the expiation of minor sins: is the condition that one abstains from major sins? Meaning, if one commits major sins, the minor sins are not expiated?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if you abstain from them.
The questioner:
So this is understood, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
It is the text of a verse.
The presenter:
The meaning is not that minor sins are expiated while major sins are not. May Allah record your reward and reward you with good, Shaykh. May Allah preserve you and care for you. Peace.
