Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner sent a set of questions. He says: Shaykh, I gave false testimony on one occasion with a colleague of mine at the office, and now I want to return to the right path. What is the ruling on one who gave false testimony and then repented?
Answer:
One who gives false testimony to take the wealth of a Muslim man will meet Allah while He is angry with him, as stated in the authentic hadith. So you must go to the judge who ruled based on your oath and tell him that you lied in it. He will annul his ruling and recover the right from the one who took it without a legitimate legal reason. Yes.
