Question: Repentance
A thing was lost from our home.A woman told my mom that she will go to a soothsayer to find out theif and she went there.My mom was convinved as she was ignorant that it was kufr.I told her to repent after knowing about the sin.She repented Alhamdulilah. Is it enough or did she have to inform the woman?Will Allah accept mom's repentance without informing that woman about the sin?It happened 4 years ago.I don’t wanna remind mom about this sin again as she already repented from it long time ago.

Tawba (repentance) is sufficient. May Allah accept your mother’s Tawba. Ameen.

يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ تُوبُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوۡبَةً۬ نَّصُوحًا عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمۡ أَن يُكَفِّرَ عَنكُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمۡ ...

O you who believe, turn to Allah with a faithful repentance. It is hoped from your Lord that he will write off your faults..(66:8)

And Allah knows best
