What can I do about repeatedly sinning, repenting from it, then returning to it, while feeling despair?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The questioner must repent and return to Allah whenever she sins, and not despair of His mercy, because her despair of Allah’s mercy is greater than her sins, and Allah forgives the servant as long as he turns to Him in repentance.
