The answer

Acceptance of repentance is possible for the dying person as long as they have not reached the gurgling stage, due to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "Indeed, Allah accepts the repentance of a servant as long as he has not gurgled." And his situation is not like that of Pharaoh, because he repented and his condition improved before death. And Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents, turns to Him, and performs righteous deeds.
