Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the best way to repent for one who neglected the prayer, committed acts of disbelief, and consumed the rights and wealth of people, and he is unable to return it, and he is unable to return it? Will Allah conceal it on the Day of Resurrection if he repents with sincere repentance?
Answer:
Repentance is accepted in all matters, even in shirk (associating partners with Allah) and kufr (disbelief), if he repents from them, Allah accepts his repentance. And regarding all sins, Allah accepts repentance from His servants[Ash-Shuraa 42:25]. Repentance is of two types: repentance regarding the rights of Allah, which Allah the Exalted accepts and forgives; and repentance regarding the rights of creation, which requires returning the rights of creation to them along with the repentance. One must return the injustices to their owners; this is necessary, or he must ask them for forgiveness. If he is unable to do so, he asks them for forgiveness, and if they forgive him, it is dropped from him. Yes.

And it is He who accepts repentance from his servants and pardons misdeeds, and He knows what you do.
وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَعْفُو عَنِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
