Repentance from a false oath
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A person swore a false oath regarding a specific matter. Is repentance sufficient in that case, or is it necessary for him to clarify to the people that he was lying in this matter?
Answer:
If the oath was one by which he seized the money of a Muslim man, and he repents to Allah, he must return the money to its owner. One of the conditions of repentance is that you return the injustice to its owner.
