What is the ruling on money acquired from engaging in sodomy, and what is its expiation? Is the repentance of someone who sins repeatedly then repents accepted? What are the conditions for sincere repentance? And what can I do to restrain myself from sins so that I can get married?

You have done well in your repentance and regret for the sin, and do not despair as long as you always hasten to repent; for repentance, if its conditions are met—namely, regret, abstaining from disobedience, and resolving not to return to it—is accepted by Allah. You must spend the hundred Riyals for the benefit of Muslims or give them to their poor. As for marriage, it is obligatory for whoever is able to, if his soul inclines him to what is forbidden, for it is more lowering of the gaze and more protective of the private parts.
