Is tawbah sufficient to be forgiven?
Question
If you commit a sin then repent, is that enough to get forgiven by Allah or I also need to do good deeds additional to my repentance?
Answer
It depends on the nature of the sin. If it is an ordinary sin that is not connected to anybody or any other obligation then repentance is sufficient.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
