Question:
This man asks, saying that he used to sell cigarettes and hashish, and he repented to Allah the Mighty and Majestic, and he has debts. Praise be to Allah.
Answer:
As long as you have repented to Allah, Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents, and do not return to such a thing. As for the debts, you and the creditors can settle this matter. Either they forgive you, because it is forbidden and not lawful for them, or if they do not forgive you, go to the court. Yes, the court will adjudicate between you. The one who sells hashish is never accepted in the laws of all countries. Hashish is not permitted to be sold in any country, even the disbelievers prohibit it.
