Does Allah accept the repentance of one who has committed adultery five times and then regretted it, and is he thereby deprived of the Houris of Paradise?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Adultery is one of the gravest sins for which Allah has promised severe punishment to those who commit it. However, one who repents sincerely is like one who has no sin. There is no authentic that deprives the repentant adulterer from the Houris (maidens) of Paradise. Rather, deprivation is mentioned in relation to drinking wine for those who do not repent.
