Repentance from theft and drug use, and returning rights
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Mīm Ṣād says, may Allah protect you: Peace be upon you. I used to use narcotics and steal from my colleagues, but now, praise be to Allah, I have repented. How do I make expiation for my sins? Also, how do I return what I stole and the rights of others?
Answer:
Yes. What you stole from specific people, you must return to them and ask for their forgiveness. As for those you do not know, or who have died, or whose rights you are unable to deliver to them, you give it to the needy. You disburse it and give it to the needy, and its reward belongs to its owner. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you
