Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person commits a sin and then feels distress, sorrow, and sadness afterward, is he considered distressed and compelled in that state?

Answer:
If distress, sorrow, and sadness befall him, there is no doubt that it is either due to a sin he committed, in which case he should repent to Allah, or it is by the divine decree and destiny of Allah, in which case he should believe in the divine decree and destiny of Allah, and not be distressed or complain. Yes.
