Will those who assault people's honor, backbite, and unlawfully consume their wealth be tormented in the grave and the Hereafter if they repent solely to God, without seeking forgiveness from the people or returning their rights? Is their repentance sufficient, or is the restoration of rights obligatory? Will they be punished, or will only their good deeds be taken away?

Among the conditions for accepted repentance related to the rights of human beings are: restoring injustices and giving rights back to their owners. This includes returning usurped money without informing the owner of the reason for taking it. As for backbiting, if it has reached the person, then seeking their forgiveness is obligatory. If it has not reached them, scholars differ between the necessity of seeking forgiveness and merely suffice with seeking Allah's forgiveness and mentioning the person positively.

Whoever repents with a sincere repentance has cleared their conscience. As for him who does not repent, he is exposed to the threat of punishment and torment in the grave and the Hereafter. Texts have been narrated concerning the torment of those who consume usury in the grave, and the torment of the backbiter and the slanderer therein as well.

In addition to punishment, injustices lead to the taking of good deeds and giving them to the rightful owner on the Day of Judgment. If the oppressor has no good deeds, then some of the wronged person's sins will be taken and placed upon him.
