2802 How to Dispose of Money That Contains a Doubtful Element
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I acquired an amount of seven hundred riyals from a doubtful source. How do I purify myself from this doubt? And if I have a debt, is it permissible for me to pay it from this amount?
Answer:
If you want to be scrupulous and have a clear conscience, do not use what contains a doubtful element. Give it in charity or return it to its owner if you know who it is, unless he has permitted you to keep it, in which case you may take it.
