Is repentance from a particular sin acceptable while 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 a different nature and not the same as
the one from which he has repented. For 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. Or
if he repents from taking drugs but insists on drinking wine, or vice versa,
then the repentance is invalid too. It will also be incorrect and
unacceptable if a man repents from adultery with one woman but commits it
with another. In all of these cases they have only shifted from one variety
of sin to another within the same kind.

And Allah knows best.
