Giving in charity the money taken without right
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: I took money in my job without right. Is it permissible to give it in charity to the extent of my ability, and in any place in the Muslim countries, and in any type of currency, so that I can settle the debt?
Answer:
It is not permissible for you to do this, because these are the people's money and they are present. So return it to them and seek their forgiveness. You do not become free of the debt by what you have done.
