Is it true that the wronged will take their right from the oppressor on the Day of Resurrection until they are satisfied, such that the oppressor's good deeds are transferred to them and their bad deeds are cast upon the oppressor, thereby causing despair of performing good deeds?

The rights of people on the Day of Judgment will be settled with just retribution and equity. Every wronged person will receive their due according to the extent of the injustice, neither more nor less, in accordance with His, the Almighty's, saying: "And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be wronged at all." Allah may satisfy and compensate the wronged person, and forgive the oppressor through their repentance. As for taking the oppressor's good deeds, it will be commensurate with the injustice, except in specific cases, such as a conqueror's betrayal of a family, where the wronged person may take as many of the oppressor's good deeds as they wish. The door of repentance is open for every sin, and for matters where it is not possible to appease the adversaries, one should resort to Allah Almighty with supplication and sincerity.
