Does one who commits an act of disbelief that expels him from the fold of Islam have to give up all that Allah has forbidden for his Islam to be accepted?

It is not known that the condition for accepting the repentance of an apostate is that they do not return to apostasy. God accepts the repentance of wrongdoers, and infallibility from sins belongs to none but the prophets. The pious seek forgiveness when they sin and remember God, and the believer sins and repents, and the best of sinners are those who repent often. The criterion is the abundance of good deeds that erase evil deeds.
