Is my repentance for having admired musical videos complete after deleting them, and what is required to complete repentance?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents sincerely, provided that its conditions are met. One who repents from a sin is like one who has no sin. However, if sharing a video by liking it leads to others viewing it, then it is feared that this might be an invitation to falsehood and a bearing of the sins of those who follow it. Therefore, the questioner should strive to increase the call to acts of obedience and righteous deeds, using modern technologies for that purpose. The important aspects of repentance are abandoning the sin, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it, even if an effect of the sin remains.
