Asking for forgiveness after committing zina
Question
I want to ask, if a boy had intercourse with his sister but he was not doing it intentionally with his sister. He also had intercourse with his girlfriends, will he be forgiven?
Answer
If he sincerely begs Allah Ta`ala's forgiveness Allah Ta`ala will definitely forgive him.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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