Correcting one's intention

· 10 Rabiʻ I 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I was wondering what would happen if a person for example buys a book with riya, but then makes tawbah and then uses it sincerely for only Allah Ta'ala? What happens in these situations when someone tries to follow Deen but he has corruption in his intention but later fixes it. Will he get reward for it?

Answer

He should correct his intention and make istighfaar.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
