The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said:
“HE IS NOT ONE OF US WHO PRACTISES AUGURY OR HAS IT DONE FOR HIM, WHO TELLS FORTUNES OR HAS HIS FORTUNE TOLD, OR WHO PRACTISES WITCHCRAFT OR HAS THAT DONE FOR HIM.”

Al-Bazzaar with a jayyid isnaad
if it's foolishness you've repented from, you would be astray or even worse - a disbeliever if you lost hope in the mercy of Allah,
" And who despairs of the Mercy of his Lord except those who are astray?"
(Qur'an15:56)
truly no one despairs of Allah's soothing mercy, except those who have no Faith.
Quran Yusuf 12:87
Condition 1: Feeling guilty of doing the act of sin
The realisation in a person thqat he has done or has been doing a sin. He has been wronging his own soul.
Condition 2: Stop doing the sin
3:135 "..and are never obstinate in persisting knowingly in (the wrong) they have done". For sincere repentance the person should stop doing the sin for which he is repenting.
Condition 3: Seek forgiveness from Allah
3:135 "..ask for forgiveness for their sins, and who can forgive sins except Allah?"
42:25 " It is he who accepts repentance from his servants
Condition 4: Determine never to do the act of sin again
Condition 5: Correction
If some persons rights have been violated then those rights should be fulfilled. Eg if a person has beeen robbed then what has been robbed has to be restored. This is because the violations in Huqooq al Ibaad – rights of the creation will not be forgiven by Allah until they are restored.
and Allah knows best.
