Answer
A person engaging in sin with the perception of Allah?s forgiveness is falling into the trap of Shaytaan. Allah Ta?ala accepts the tawba of one on condition it is done with sincerity.
Repeating the sin displays one being insincere in his tawbah. You should always consider the fact that after having committed, death is imminent. It may take you at any time, what if death approached before having repented?

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
