Ruling on making repentance conditional on a specific event
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As for the one who ties his repentance to the fact that he will get married, or that he will perform Hajj, or that he will grow old in age; meaning he says, "I am in the age of youth?"
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. Who told him that?
Death may strike him suddenly. Death is concealed. It may strike him while he is in the early stages of youth. It is obligatory to hasten with repentance and not to make it conditional.
