How can one sincerely repent and guarantee its acceptance after committing incest?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Adultery is a grave indecency, and its repulsiveness increases if committed with a mahram. It is not permissible to prove a person's bad character by belittling them; rather, advice and repentance are more appropriate. The door to repentance is open, and its conditions are: abandoning the sin, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it. Sincere repentance transforms evil deeds into good ones. The repentant person should associate with righteous people and persevere in acts of worship.
