Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person is a monotheist who preserves the pillars of Islam, but has many sins, including major ones and others, is he considered one of the people of deviation, and is there no way to bring him back to the truth?
Answer:
All of you are prone to error, and the best of those who err are the ones who repent. So he should repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
The presenter:
From the sins, and Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents. He should not say, "I am one of the people of deviation," or if Satan whispers to him, he should leave that and repent to Allah. Yes.
