Question:
This questioner says: What should one do if he cheated in past years and then repented? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Cheating is a major crime. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2225Da'if (Darussalam). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 4197Sahih (Darussalam). So cheating is forbidden and a major sin among the major sins. If he cheated in a transaction, and the one who was cheated is still alive, he goes to him and informs him of the truth. If he is pleased, praise be to Allah; otherwise, he returns this transaction to him, takes his right, and gives the other party his right. Unless the wronged person forgives him; if he forgives, there is no harm.
This is if the cheating was in transactions, and it was cheating that caused harm. But if it did not harm the customer or the buyer, it did not harm him, then he seeks forgiveness from Allah and repents to Him, and asks the one who was cheated to forgive him if possible. Yes.
