Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says that she took out a riba loan to buy a house, and she now wants to repent, but she has not finished paying it off. What should she do, or how should she proceed in that case?
Answer:
There is no doubt that a riba loan is forbidden. And she built this house with what is forbidden. If she wants to clear herself, she should sell the house and get rid of the proceeds by putting them into a project, giving them out, or distributing them to the needy, thereby getting rid of the value. Yes.
