Will a person be punished after being forgiven by Allah Ta'ala?
Question
A person commits kabeera gunah then he repents and it is forgiven by Allah and it's removed by the angels but although it has been removed, will he get punished for that sin though it has been forgiven?
Answer
When Allah Ta`ala has forgiven him he will not be punished.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
