Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A person wronged me and harmed my honor and reputation. Then, before his journey to Hajj, he sent me a message on my mobile phone asking for my forgiveness, even though he did not return my right. He asks: What is your advice to me regarding this?
Answer:
By Allah, this is a matter between you and him. If you see that you can forgive him, that is good. Yes.
