Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man purchased a stolen item from a person, knowing that it was stolen, and then sold it. He has repented. What is obligatory for him?
Answer:
This is forbidden and not permissible. As long as you know that this is not the property of the person from whom you bought it, and you know that he is the thief, it is not permissible for you to buy it from him. It is not permissible; it is forbidden for you and for him to do this.
