The Ruling on Taking Riba Money and Disposing of It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: If a person receives riba (usury or interest) money from someone, is he instructed to give it in charity? Do I want him to do that?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a person to take riba and benefit from it. However, if a person was involved in it, or if he had money from riba, what should he do with it? He should get rid of it by placing it in a general project from which people benefit, like the money of a person who has no one to claim it; he puts it in a general project from which people benefit. As for taking riba and saying, "I will spread it in projects or such," and continuing in that state, that is not permissible for him.
