Hadith.3332 - Sama'ah narrated from Abu Abdullah (as), who said
"False witnesses are subjected to flogging as a punishment, and its extent is determined by the Imam. They are paraded publicly so that they may be recognized and refrain from repeating the act."
I said: "If they repent and reform, will their testimony be accepted afterward?"
Imam (as) said: "If they repent, Allah (swt) accepts their repentance, and their testimony will be accepted thereafter."
