Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a disbeliever converts to Islam, is what is between him and people in terms of deception, theft, and other matters forgiven?
Answer:
The rights of people are not dropped by repentance alone. It is necessary to return the rights to their owners along with the repentance. This is one of the conditions of repentance: if it is between him and people, either they forgive him or he returns their rights to them. It is not dropped by repentance alone. Yes.
