Question:
What is the ruling for a person who deliberately misses a fast during Ramadan and later repents? Will their repentance be accepted?
Answer:
Yes, their repentance can be accepted because Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an:
وَإِنِّي لَغَفَّارٌ لِمَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدَى
“And indeed, I am the Most Forgiving to whoever repents, believes, and does righteous deeds, and then remains guided.”
(Surah Ta-Ha: 82)
Additionally, there are many other evidences in the Qur’an and Sunnah that support the acceptance of sincere repentance.
