Not feeling remorse in one's heart after making taubah
Question
When I commit a sin, I seek forgiveness but I struggle to feel emotions of regret in my heart. Is it okay if I force my self to be regretful and does hating the sin qualify as remorse?
Answer
As long as you perceive a mental remorse then this 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.
