If a Person Keeps Falling into a Sin He Had Repented From

Ibn Taimiyyah, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:

It is not allowed for a Muslim, if he were to repent and then afterwards go back [to committing the sin], to persist [on that sin]; rather, he [must] repent, even if he were to go back [to that sin] a hundred times in a day.
