Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman says: I asked you a few days ago and sought your ruling regarding a house I bought with a riba loan while I was ignorant, and you said in the ruling that I should get rid of this house if I can. Her question is: What does getting rid of it mean? Does it mean that she should sell it? And if she sells it and it brings her profits, how should she handle the principal and the profit?

Answer:
What I see for her is that she should write down her question and send it to the Ifta department, and they will look into it, if Allah wills, and give her a written answer to follow. She should write her question and send it to the Ifta department, either through a representative or via fax, and they will look into it, if Allah wills. Yes.
