The student: If a believer is punished in this world, Allah does not gather for him the punishment of the Hereafter. Does this include cases where he did not repent, being punished while persisting in his sin? Like the fornicator...
The Shaykh : Yes, because if he repents, he is not punished, neither in this world nor in the Hereafter.
The student: O Shaykh, the one who repents from a sin is like one who has no sin. The opposite is that he is like one who has a sin, because he did not benefit from this punishment and did not desist?
The Shaykh : If he is punished, the sin that preceded is expiated from him, because he received his penalty and it ended. However, the punishment may be delayed for him until the Day of Resurrection. For this reason, when Allah loves a people, He hastens their punishment in this world so that they are not disgraced by it on the Day of Resurrection.
The student: Shaykh, if he is punished now and then dies immediately before committing the other sin, is he punished for his intention not to repent?
The Shaykh : No, he is punished if the intention persists after the punishment. In that case, he may be punished for his intention, not for his act. Yes, Yahya.
The Shaykh : Yes, because if he repents, he is not punished, neither in this world nor in the Hereafter.
