The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am the owner of a real estate office. If a customer comes to me wanting to buy a house, am I required to verify that this buyer's money is not riba (usury or interest)?
The Shaykh:

The questioner:
If a customer comes to me wanting to buy a house, am I required to verify that this buyer's money is not riba?
The Shaykh:
Have good opinion of the Muslims, unless it becomes clear to you, or it is more likely in your view, that it is from what is forbidden, in which case do not deal with him.
