Islam wipes out all previous sins
Question
Are the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu anhum) who buried their daughters alive before becoming Muslim forgiven for the sin of burying daughters alive after accepting Islam?
Answer
The Hadith mentions that Islam wipes out all previous sins. Hence, if they committed this sin before Islam, then they will be forgiven for this sin.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
