Question

what is the difference between istighfaar and taubah?

Answer

Istighfaar refers to being remorseful for the wrong that you have done, and taubah is the resolve not to do it again.

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.
