🌹Considered to be Persistent upon Disobedience.
In the name of Allaah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
And perhaps one is (considered to be) persistent (upon disobedience) when he is determined upon the action in one time and not in another.
وَقَدْ يَكُونُ مُصِرًّا إذَا عَزَمَ عَلَى الْفِعْلِ فِي وَقْتٍ دُونَ وَقْتٍ
Such as the one who determines to leave disobedience in the month of Ramadān and not in other months;
كَمَنْ يَعْزِمُ عَلَى تَرْكِ الْمَعَاصِي فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ دُونَ غَيْرِهِ
So this one is not repentant in the least.
فَلَيْسَ هَذَا بِتَائِبِ مُطْلَقًا.
However he is one who leaves the action in the month of Ramadān,
وَلَكِنَّهُ تَارِكٌ لِلْفِعْلِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ
And he is rewarded if that abandonment was for Allāh; and out of reverence for the legislative matters of Allāh and avoidance of His forbidden matters in that time.
وَيُثَابُ إذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ التَّرْكُ لِلَّهِ وَتَعْظِيمِ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ وَاجْتِنَابِ مَحَارِمِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ
However, he is not from the repentant ones who will be forgiven by way of their Tawbah with an absolute forgiveness nor is he persistent upon the sin in an absolute way.
وَلَكِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ التَّائِبِينَ الَّذِينَ يُغْفَرُ لَهُمْ بِالتَّوْبَةِ مَغْفِرَةً مُطْلَقَةً وَلَا هُوَ مُصِرٌّ مُطْلَقًا.
As for the one who Ibnul-Mubārak described, then he is persistent (upon disobedience) if from his intention is returning to consumption of intoxicants (i.e. after leaving it during Ramadān).
وَأَمَّا الَّذِي وَصَفَهُ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ فَهُوَ مُصِرٌّ إذَا كَانَ مِنْ نِيَّتِهِ الْعَوْدُ إلَى شُرْبِهَا.
I (Ibn Taymiyah) say: And the one who has abandoned disobedience in the month of Ramadān while he has within his intention to return to it in other than the month of Ramadān then he is one who is persistent upon disobedience as well.”
قُلْت: وَاَلَّذِي قَدْ تَرَكَ الْمَعَاصِيَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مِنْ نِيَّتِهِ الْعَوْدُ إلَيْهَا فِي غَيْرِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مُصِرٌّ أَيْضًا.

May Allaah accept our ibaadat and forgive our shortcomings.
