Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a person was engaged in riba (usury or interest) transactions and then repented from them, what should he do with this riba money?

Answer:
Yes, if he has money from riba (usury or interest) and he repents to Allah and ceases the transactions, he disposes of this money by placing it in a public project, in a public project like money that has no owner, lost money, or money that belongs to no one; it is spent on public interests. Yes.
