Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In the past, I witnessed a false testimony along with a friend of mine, and I gained a benefit from this testimony. I have reflected on myself through my study of jurisprudential rulings and I have repented. What is required of me now? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Two things are required of you. The first is repentance to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). The second is: if your testimony resulted in taking a right from someone or imposing a punishment on someone, you are required to clarify that. You must go back to the judge and tell him that you lied in your testimony, and so on, to remove what resulted from your testimony. Yes.
