Is repentance accepted for oppressing people through forced conscription carried out without consent and under threat, and is it necessary to seek their forgiveness for repentance to be accepted?
Injustice is forbidden, and it is one of the sins that require the restitution of grievances to their rightful owners to clear one's conscience. If the injustice is financial, the money must be returned. If the owner cannot be reached, then it should be given as charity on their behalf. If the injustice involves physical harm or defamation, one must seek forgiveness from the wronged person if they can be reached. If the wronged person is unknown, then one should seek forgiveness for them and pray for their well-being.
