Repenting for committing zina with one's sister

· 17 Shawwal 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

One of my friends whom I know for years told me an upsetting story.

His story was that he had committed fornication with his sister when he was 12 or 13 years old. Now that he is 20 years old, and knows what he has done, he is worrying every second and regretting his life. He says that his conscious does not let him live and he has no hope to be forgiven by Allah. What is your kind directions to him?

Answer

Allah Ta`ala will definitely forgive him and according to the level of his sincerity Allah Ta`ala will love him as well provided he remains committed to his taubah and his promise to Allah Ta`ala.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
