Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from outside the country says that he purchased a house through a riba loan, and he has repented to Allah. He asks: What should he do with this house after he has purchased it?
The Shaykh:
He owns it, meaning from haram (forbidden) money? Yes.
The questioner:
Through a riba loan.
The Shaykh:
The riba loan is the problem here. But if he gives in charity an amount equal to the price of the house, his liability is cleared, if Allah wills. I do not mean he simply gives it away; rather, he takes out an amount equal to the price of the house and places it in projects or something beneficial. By doing so, his liability is cleared, if Allah wills. Yes.
