Question:
Does the hadith below cover major sins (kaba’ir)?
RasulAllah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) is reported to have said, ‘If a person has sins equivalent to the foams of the sea and pebbles on a desert, Allah’s mercy is so encompassing that He will forgive every sin.’ In another narration, it is mentioned that Allah will speak secretly to one of His slaves on the day of Qiyamat and remind him of all his sins. After the person will confess his sins, Allah will say to him, ‘I concealed your faults in the world, today too, I will conceal your faults. Go in Jannah, I have forgiven you.’

Yes.
