Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a person deals in riba (usury or interest) and then dies without repenting from it, how can his companion expiate these matters for him?

Answer:
He cannot expiate these matters for him. Yes. He died while dealing in riba; no one can absolve him from the sin. Yes.
