Summary
Past matters are to be left behind and taken as a lesson, and the mistake must not be repeated in future. The person is advised to repent and pray to Allah for forgiveness and guidance. The fatwa reminds that riba is a major sin, and notes the scholars' suggestion to give more charity, especially for the public welfare of Muslims.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami menasihatkan agar perkara yang lepas biarkan lepas dan dijadikan sempadan. Yang penting, kita tidak tidak melakukan lagi perkara tersebut pada masa akan datang.
