Is the intention to return to watching dramas after a month considered an acceptable repentance, and would that intention be recorded for her if she dies before the month ends?
Accepted repentance is that which fulfills its conditions and is free from its impediments. These are: remorse for the sin, determination not to return to it, and immediate cessation from it if one is engaged in it. So, whoever abandons a sin with the intention of returning to it, their repentance is incomplete. Persistence in sin is dangerous and an indication of insincere remorse. Allah Almighty says: ﴿And [who] do not persist in what they have done while they know.﴾ And one who seeks forgiveness with their tongue while their heart persists in sin is like one who mocks their Lord.
