Dought and Clear, - Rulings on Tawbah, - Repentance From One Type of Sin While Committing Another.

Is repentance from a particular sin acceptablewhile I am a victim of another?
Praise be to Allah.
Yes, repentance from a particular sin is acceptable even if the
repentant insists on another sin which is of adifferent nature and not
the same as the one from which he has repented. To take an example, if
a man repents from having accepted interest but not from drinking
wine, his repentance over accepting interest is acceptable, and vice
versa. But if he repents from simple interest but not compound
interest then his repentance is invalid. So also if he repents from
taking drugs but insists on drinking wine, or vice versa, then that
repentance is invalid too. It will also be incorrect and unacceptable
if a man repents from adultery with a woman but commits it with
another.In all these cases they have only shifted from one variety of
sin to another within the samekind.
And Allah knows best.
