The Expiation of One Who Gives False Testimony
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From the Arab Republic of Egypt, the listener Salaman al-Tarabani sent a question saying: What is the obligatory expiation for false testimony, since I testified while at work to clear one of the drivers of a car accident? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You must repent to Allah, and you must inform the parties in need that you lied, so that they may take their right, or you must pay the owner of the right his right; because you wronged the people because of the testimony. So you must repent to Allah, and you must inform the people of the right so that they are given their right, or you must pay them their right. Repentance is necessary, and paying the right to its rightful owner is necessary—may Allah grant us well-being. Yes.
The presenter : O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.
