Is the doubt that averts the Hadd penalty considered one of the major sins?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
What happened is not Zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) necessitating a Hadd (prescribed punishment), but rather it is among the minor sins that are expiated by avoiding major sins. It has been reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that good deeds efface evil deeds. As long as the questioner has repented with sincere repentance ( Nasuh), her repentance is accepted, whether the sin was minor or major.
