Does one's conscience become clear regarding the sins of violating people's honor if the reward for good deeds is gifted to them, and is it possible for the good deeds to remain and not go to them on the Day of Judgment?
Among the conditions for the validity of repentance are: abstaining from the sin, regretting having committed it, resolving not to return to it in the future, and restoring rights to their owners. As for moral rights, one seeks absolution for them by generally asking for forgiveness from their owners, or by speaking well of them in different places. Dedicating the reward of good deeds to others was not known among the Salaf, and it is better to follow their methodology. Scholars differed regarding the permissibility of dedicating the reward of deeds in general, while agreeing on its permissibility in charity, Hajj, and supplication for the deceased. The repentant is beloved by Allah, and Allah does not punish His beloved ones.
