The answer

Repentance from lying, like other sins, involves desisting, regretting, and resolving not to return to it. It is not a condition to confess to the person one lied to; rather, the one who committed the sin should conceal their fault, unless the lie resulted in the loss of a human right. In that case, the completion of repentance is by restoring the right to its owner.
