Is there repentance for incest with a brother?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The crime of sodomy is among the greatest sins. Whoever falls into it must hasten to repent to Allah and increase in performing good deeds that expiate sins, based on His (Allah's) saying: "Indeed, good deeds do away with ill deeds," and the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "Fear Allah wherever you are, and follow up a bad deed with a good one that will wipe it out," and his saying: "Charity given in secret extinguishes the wrath of the Lord." So, whoever is sincere in his repentance and abstains from this indecency, Allah will accept his repentance and replace his bad deeds with good ones.
