Repentance from one who gave false testimony
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The listener A.M. says: I gave false testimony seven years ago that my manager, so-and-so, prays, when in fact he does not pray. I gave that testimony out of fear that I would be fired from my job. What should I do now?
The Shaykh:
If the testimony was given to the judge, you go to the judge and inform him of the truth, and the judge will handle it, yes.
The questioner:
And if it was not given to the judge.
The Shaykh:
You repent to Allah the Exalted and do not return to such a thing, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you
