The questioner : A man took a sum of money from the Housing Bank to erect a building. When he had erected the building, he realized that this transaction is forbidden, or perhaps he rectified the matter and clarified to people that it is forbidden. He sold the building he had built. Naturally, he obtained a sum greater than what he had taken from the Housing Bank. He wanted to cover the value of the amount he had taken from the bank, so he added a sum of money. Is this amount that exceeds the value—naturally, the huge difference—permissible to benefit from, given that this man, for example, exerted effort during the construction?

The Shaykh :
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) fell down from a horse and his right side was either injured or scratched, so we went to inquire about his health. The time for the prayer became due and he offered the prayer while sitting and we prayed while standing. He said, "The Imam is to be followed; so if he says Takbir, you should also say Takbir, and if he bows you should also bow; and when he lifts his head you should also do the same and if he says: Sami`a l-lahu liman hamidah (Allah hears whoever sends his praises to Him) you should say: Rabbana walakal-Hamd (O our Lord! All the praises are for You.") (See Hadith No. 656 Vol. 1).
