Repaying the debt of the mobile phone company that was used for forbidden matters
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Sami. He says: I am a young man living in a land of disbelief. Allah the Exalted guided me, and then I began to pray. Before that, I was doing some forbidden things, and I was using mobile phone calls for that purpose. Now I have a debt with the mobile phone company that has reached five thousand. The question is: What do I do? Am I required to return this money to them?
Answer:
If they demand it from you and you cannot get rid of them, pay it to them. However, if you can get rid of them, do so. But if they insist on it, pay it to them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
