Q: I have a friend who has commited a sin. He had sex with a prostitute. He is very sorry and disappointed for what he has done. I am very tensed to see him that much disappointed. On his behalf, I want to ask if there is any forgiveness for that sin for him? If there is any, what is tha kafara for him?
A: Tell him to sincerely repent to Allah Ta’ala and make a firm resolve that he will never ever repeat this sin in the future. Similarly he should refrain from all avenues that may lead him to sin.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
