Will repentance be accepted after death?
Question
I was listening to tarjuma of Surah Al Imran Ayat 90. Does this ayah mean that the repentance will not be accepted after death? And if a person repents before dying it will be accepted?
Answer
Yes, repentance will not be accepted after death.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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