Will God accept the repentance of a girl who was subjected to harassment by her maternal uncle and recently surrendered to him, fearing scandal and family disintegration, and what should she do regarding this uncle?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The door of repentance is open, and its conditions are: remorse for the sin, desisting from it, and resolving not to return to it, along with sensing the gravity of the sin and the greatness of the One Whom you disobeyed. Incest is among the greatest of sins, yet Allah is Forgiving and Merciful; He accepts the repentance of His servants and transforms their evil deeds into good ones. One must avoid the maternal uncle to prevent falling into immorality.
