Persistence is really a greater sin
As we have already seen, lesser sins assume the proportions of greater ones under the following conditions:
1) When they are committed due to heedlessness.
2) When they are considered insignificant and not punishable.
3) When the person who commits them is pleased and happy with himself.
4) To commit them again and again without feeling any remorse and repenting for them.
5) Being aware of the fact that doing them again and again makes them a greater sin.
Another point of contention is that when an Ālim commits smaller sins which take the magnitude of greater sins, is his reliability as an Ālim maintained? The answer is not clear, but apparently his reliability is maintained.
