Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, if a person insults the Divine Essence and the Messenger, and then repents while in a state of anger, Honorable Shaykh, does he have a repentance?

Answer:
Yes, he has a repentance if he was in a state of anger. Anger has categories; some of it is overwhelming, and one does not know what he is saying. This person is not held accountable for what he utters, because he is like a madman, like one who has lost his mind. As for the one who is aware of what he is saying, the angry person who is aware of what he is saying, he is held accountable for his words. But the door of repentance is open, praise be to Allah. Yes.
