QUESTION:
A Bakri that has converted, does he have to redo all of his religious duties from puberty until now, from prayers and fasting and other acts? Or does Islam erase the sins that came before it?
ANSWER:
In the Name of Allah, the All-Beneficent, the All-Merciful.
May Allah bless Muhammad and his Family and damn their enemies.
No, one who has converted shouldn’t redo his prayers for Islam erases the sins that have occurred before it.
