Answers
Ibrahim Saleh al-Khusaini: The Messenger (s) said: Whoever did it and he was punished for his deed in this world then it is atonement for him. Because, the scholars said that the punishments are atonements, and if it is like that, then the one who commits the sin, if he is punished from this world, then we can hope that God will not punish him on the Day of Resurrection.
