Q: I watched an Islamic seminar on T.V. In which some scholars were discussing the topic of absolving oneself from injustice done to others. One of them said that the person has to give people their rights back publicly. Another scholar said this should be done in secret. I started to think of the rights I have violated before I go to make Hajj in 1404 A.H. When I was young, I took some things from someone. I went to him at his house and told him that I have his things. I gave him some money and told him that they will be prohibited for me just like the prohibition of my mother unless he took them. (Part No. 23; Page No. 169) He forgave me but refused to take the money and gave them back to me. I appreciate your advice. May Allah reward you with the best! What should I do with the money? I heard a Hadith in which Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, On the day of `Arafah, Allah's Pardon is delayed from the people who violate other people's rights. Is this true? It should be noted that I said to the person whose right I have violated that I would give him more money if the money I gave him was not enough.
