Summary
This Bayan Linnas urges Muslims to keep up their devotion after Ramadan rather than treating worship as limited to that month. The majority of scholars hold that fasting Ramadan while observing its limits erases minor sins, while major sins, according to the jumhur, require sincere repentance (taubat nasuha). On the interpretation of the hadith there are two views: forgiveness is conditional on avoiding major sins, or these obligations erase minor sins only in every case. Standing in prayer on Laylat al-Qadr erases the sins of those who attain it, and the forgiveness is not delayed until Ramadan ends.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
