Is it allowed to establish a routine for making Tawbah, such as praying for forgiveness every morning, every night, weekly, or after each sin, even if one continues to commit the same mistakes repeatedly?
Amina Inloes

It is good to pray for forgiveness regularly, as long as it does not become too much of a habit and lose sincerity or focus - tawbah should be from the heart. 
Am I responsible for a sin if my actions unintentionally lead someone else to sin, even if I did not intend for that to happen?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You need to inform the person to beware from committing sinful acts and explain to them your intention. If you know that your unintentional behaviours will lead other to sin, you have a compulsory responsibility to clarify the situation to avoid misleading others.

Is it allowed for a person to perform Tawbah whenever they feel guilt over their sins, such as wasting time or not seeking forgiveness, on a weekly basis, or would this not be viewed as sincere repentance?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Seeking forgiveness is required always especially after committing a sinful act or remembering it. It can be a daily process especially before and after obligatory Prayers and in the night especially on the last part of the night (Sahar time). It can be also every week on the Eve of Friday (Lailatul Jumu'ah) or on every Friday.

As an artist, if I create a commissioned piece depicting a non-Hijabi woman with exposed skin and it gains admiration, would that be considered sinful? Additionally, would earning money from such a painting be deemed Halal?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is not permissible to display or show a non Hijabi female for males who are not allowed to look at her. Money earned from sinful act is not allowed.
