The Ruling on Repenting from Some Sins but Not Others
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person repents from one sin but does not repent from another, is his repentance accepted?
Answer:
It is accepted, even if partial. If he repents from unlawful sexual intercourse but does not repent from intoxicants, his repentance is accepted if it meets the conditions. Likewise, if he repents from undutifulness to his parents, his repentance is accepted even if he has other sins.
However, it is obligatory for him to repent from all of them. It is obligatory for him to repent from all his sins. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: [Surat al-Nur: 31].

وَتُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا أَيُّهَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ..
