The question

What should a person do after repenting from a sin? And does the feeling of remorse continue to accompany him in his daily life? And should he refrain from doing what he loves after repentance, or is remorse only at the time of repentance? And does the matter differ according to the size of the sin?

The answer

When repenting from a sin, one must feel remorse. If a person regrets their sin, abandons it, and resolves never to return to it, then their repentance is sound, and they are not required to repeat the remorse. The repentant person is not obligated to abstain from what they love, as long as that beloved thing is permissible. Abstaining from permissible things is not a condition for repentance.
