Is the spread of a video clip showing a young man's body without his face considered an ongoing sin until the Day of Judgment, and what are the signs of accepted repentance?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
All praise is due to Allah, who guided you to repentance. We ask Allah to accept it from you and to make you steadfast upon it. Strive to withdraw the clip and work to prevent its circulation as much as you are able, for whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance, and repentance erases what came before it. Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. If you are unable to erase the clip, then you are excused, as Allah says: "So fear Allah as much as you are able."
