From what you say it follows that you know how to do it for a > 0.
Let us now do it for a < 0, and make substitution x = -y/a in the integral that defines Fourier transform:
int_{-infty}^{+infty} f(ax) e^{-i*omega*x} dx = (-1/a) int_{-infty}^{+infty} e^{+i*omega*y/a} dy
= (1/|a|) int_{-infty}^{+infty} e^{-i*omega*y/|a|} dy
= (1/|a|) F(omega/|a|).
