Repentance from minor , such as swearing by other than Allah or believing in omens, is obligatory. The essence of repentance is to abandon the sin, regret having committed it, and resolve not to return to it. It is more specific than mere seeking of forgiveness. Ritual bathing () is not obligatory for repentance from minor shirk, as it does not expel one from the fold of Islam.
