What is the ruling on one who asks Allah not to forgive him if he returns to a sin and commits it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The supplication mentioned is contrary to Islamic law because it is a supplication for oneself to be punished, and one is forbidden from supplicating against oneself. Furthermore, Islamic law came with the request for forgiveness and pardon from Allah, not with the supplication for a lack of forgiveness. One should have repeated seeking forgiveness whenever a sin occurred, for Allah forgives the sin of the repentant seeker of forgiveness.
