Is the repentance of someone who committed the abomination of sodomy at the peak of his faith accepted, and does the Hadd punishment of execution for it drop with repentance, and what are the ways for him to repent?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah Almighty warned against following the footsteps of Satan, and pornographic websites are among his footsteps, and the abomination of sodomy is one of the most heinous abominations. Sincere repentance from indulgence in sins is obligatory, for he who repents of a sin is like him who has no sin. The feeling of guilt is praiseworthy if it leads to righteous deeds, fleeing from sins, and seeking refuge in Allah. Despair of forgiveness is a satanic whisper, and one must conceal oneself and not openly declare a sin.
