Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Committing a sin by mistake or forgetfully. In this case is one forgiven without it being obligatory to perform Tawbah\/istighfar?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Allah (swt) has blessed this ummah with many virtues and leniencies. From among them is that Allah (swt) drops off the sin and accountability of one committing a sin forgetfully or mistakenly.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was narrated from Ibn Abbas (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (May peace and blessings be upon him) said,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c Indeed Allah (swt) has uplifted from my nation mistakes, forgetfulness, and what they were forced to do.\u201d (Ibn Majah:2045)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also the Quran states how anything done mistakenly or forgetfully will be overlooked.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah (swt) says in the Quran, (The believers pray) \u201cOur Lord! Do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake.\u201d (2:286)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also Allah (swt) says, \u201cThere is no blame on you for what you do by mistake, but (only) for what you do intentionally. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.\u201d (33:5)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, we see from the aforementioned Hadiths and verses of the Quran that one will not be held accountable nor sinful for committing a sin forgetfully or mistakenly. Thus, repentance will not be mandatory. However, a believer should always have his tongue moist with istighfaar and other remembrance of Allah (swt).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is important to note that what was mentioned is only with regards to the sin being dropped off. However, the rulings of shariah will still apply to such a person who does something mistakenly or forgetfully.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For example if someone kills someone mistakenly then the sin will drop off, but he will still be liable to pay blood money.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah (swt) says in the Quran, \u201cIt is not lawful for a believer to kill another except by mistake. And whoever kills a believer unintentionally must free a believing slave and pay blood money to the victim\u2019s family unless they waive it charitably. (4:92)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Similarly, if one forgets to make wudu and prays salah, he will not be sinful for his forgetfulness, but he must repeat his salah. Also if one forgetfully or mistakenly missed a salah, he must make up that salah.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is evident from the Hadith wherein the Messenger of Allah (May peace and blessings be upon him) said,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhoever forgets a prayer, let him pray it when he remembers it, there is no expiation for it other than that. (Bukhari:597)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only Allah (\u0639\u0632 \u0648 \u062c\u0644) knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n
