The answer

If a Muslim is sincere in their repentance and regrets what they have done, and strives to advise those they led astray and invites them to Allah, then they have fulfilled their obligation. After that, their persistence in the path of deviation will not harm the Muslim. Scholars have stated that whoever repents from a sin, their repentance is accepted, and the lingering effect of their sin does not harm them, like someone who spread an innovation (bid'ah) and then repented from it. Sincere repentance erases what came before it, and "the one who repents from sin is like one who committed no sin."
