Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man gathers wealth from lawful and unlawful sources, then repents to Allah regarding that, is there anything required of him?
Answer:
Yes, he must get rid of the unlawful wealth. If he has unlawful wealth, he gets rid of it by placing it in public projects that benefit people. He receives no reward for this; it is merely a means of getting rid of it, like money that has no owner, which is placed in the benefits of the Muslims, along with repentance to Allah from it. Yes.
