Accepting a gift or charity from a usurer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a usurer, a man who deals in riba (usury or interest), or works in a riba bank, offers me charity or a gift, am I permitted to accept it?
Answer:
If you know that it is from riba, that this gift is from riba, do not take it. If you do not know, and the man has lawful money and unlawful money, take it, just as with eating. If you are scrupulous about it, out of scrupulousness, then the door of scrupulousness is wide. Yes.
