Question
I am told that if a Muslim commits shirk, then he can never again be a Muslim even if he repents. His shirk permanently debars him from re-entering Islam. Forgiveness is only for non-Muslim mushriks who embrace Islam. Is this correct?
Answer
If a murtad repents and renews his Shahaadat, his sin of kufr and shirk is forgiven. Those who deny this are ignorant. Allah Ta'ala forgives all sins, even shirk, if one repents sincerely and renews one's Imaan.
