Unintentional Sins And Their Concept In Islam
In Islam, we are taught that Allah does not hold us accountable for unintentional sins, which brings great relief to the heart, especially when engaging in halal actions. It helps remove unnecessary worry about unintentionally falling into something haram, allowing us to approach halal activities with ease and trust in Allah’s mercy.
However, we are also taught that if we knowingly engage in a halal action that has the potential to lead to unintentional sin, this could be considered negligence on our part. In such cases, the resulting unintentional sin might no longer be entirely free of accountability, as we knowingly exposed ourselves to the risk.
In both these cases, I’m talking about doing/pursuing a halal thing/act
My question is: Where should a Muslim feel relief in trusting that Allah will not hold them accountable for unintentional sins when engaging in halal actions, and where should they draw the line, considering that pursuing a halal act would be counted as negligence and potential accountability if that Unintentional mistake happens later?
The Unintentional sins I am specifically referring to are those that neither harm others nor damage one’s own spirituality by creating a tendency toward intentional sins later. How can one strike the right balance between trusting Allah’s mercy and being mindful of their actions to avoid negligence?

These are called minor sins and the role for the minor sins is that they will be forgiven if major sins are avoided.

@Irfan76 sir do you mean that doing those halal things will be counted as minor sins?
PS sir I am not talking about those halal things which if done will make us fall into haram later (but that Haram will be intentional) for example being alone with a woman. for example if a man becomes alone with a woman it can cause temptations and then the Zina that will occur as a result will be intentional Zina where the person will be doing it knowingly.
I’m not talking of such cases I’m talking where there is no risk of falling into intentional sins. but if the sin is to occur in future, it will only be Unintentional
