One Who Bought a House with Riba, Then Repented
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man bought a house through riba (usury or interest), and he is now repentant. He asks: What is obligatory for him besides repentance? Is he required to return the house or sell it again?
Answer:
No, that is not sufficient. He bought it with riba, so he must sell the house and get rid of the price. He should put it in a cooperative or in something else to get rid of it. Yes.
