What must a young man who committed fornication, engaged in anal sex with women, and participated in the abortion of a fetus do for his repentance to be accepted and for Allah to expiate his sins, and what is the expiation for these actions?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A person who has transgressed against themselves must immediately offer sincere repentance, fulfilling its conditions: abandoning sins and forbidden relationships, feeling remorse, and resolving never to return to them. For Allah accepts repentance and pardons evil deeds. They should also increase in good deeds and acts of obedience, associate with righteous people, attend gatherings of knowledge, and supplicate to Allah for steadfastness and success in repentance. They are not required to pay diyah (blood money) or kaffarah (expiation) for the abortion of a fetus if they were not directly involved in causing its abortion.
