Will the repentance of one who engaged in an illicit relationship that led to naked pictures and then abandoned his girlfriend, who now invokes curses upon him, be accepted? And will her imprecations pursue him?

If a servant commits a sin, he must perform sincere repentance. The forbidden relationships mentioned and the resulting pictures must be disposed of and destroyed. If he fears exposure, he must turn to Allah, seeking concealment, for whoever repents, Allah will accept his repentance. He is not considered an oppressor by abandoning this relationship, and a prayer against her will not be answered if it involves sin. However, if the aggressive approach was slander or calumny, he must repent and seek her forgiveness.
