Is the repentance of the one who has been disfigured (masukh) accepted, and how does a person know they have been disfigured, and can the one who has been disfigured eat, drink, and live for a long time, or can this only be known through marriage and procreation?

Transfiguration (maskh) is the alteration of a human's form into an丑陋 one, such as that of apes and pigs. This is a manifest phenomenon that requires no extensive research. Some of the Children of Israel were indeed transfigured as a punishment for their disobedience. Transfiguration is akin to destruction through torment; therefore, repentance is not accepted from those who have been transfigured after the transfiguration has occurred, because repentance is not accepted after the torment has descended, as happened with Pharaoh and others.
