The ruling on selling a production device after repentance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks: He notes that after Allah the Exalted guided him, he wanted to get rid of the production device because he learned that it is something that creates good or evil. He wants to sell it. Is it permissible for him to sell this device?
Answer:
One does not draw near to Allah [by doing so]. There is a problem with this matter, but if he sells it and disperses its price, perhaps this would be an acceptable solution. This would be an acceptable solution: he sells it and gives its price in charity, thereby getting rid of it.
