  • Consequences of sin do not invalidate repentance from it

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have read many fatwas that state that delaying repentanceis a sin necessitating repentancein and of itself.

May Allah bless you. .. More

  • Seeking pardon of people one lied to or cheated

    Assalaamu alaykum.
