Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sahih Muslim 2565a, b The forgiveness of minor sins?
Answer:
This is based on the verse [Surat al-Nisa: 48]. If it is through repentance that all sins are forgiven for every servant who does not associate partners with Allah, this contains a promise of forgiveness for sinners. However, other hadiths and the verse indicate that their persistence in major sins is among the causes of being deprived of forgiveness.
Q: His saying: "who does not associate partners with Allah"?
The Shaykh: It is general, encompassing both types.
