Question:
Regarding repentance, O Honorable Shaykh, some people say that it must be after a good deed, after an 'Umrah, after Ramadan, or after the Friday prayer.
Answer:
No, that is not the case. Repentance is with the heart, verbalized with the tongue, seeking forgiveness, and also through action. One repents and acts upon the repentance. The repentance comes before the action. That is, before he acts, he first repents with his heart and tongue, then he follows that with good deeds. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
