Question:
The other question asks: What are the channels through which money earned from forbidden shares should be disposed of, and is it sufficient to spend it on mosques and paying off debts?
Answer:
Forbidden money is not permissible for the one who earned it to use. He must repent. If this money has known owners, he takes it from them and returns it to them. If it has no known owners, he disposes of it by placing it in charitable projects whose benefit is widespread. He does not intend charity in doing so, but rather intends to rid himself of it. He places it in places where people benefit from it. However, not for mosques. Mosques are not built from such money. They are not built except from good, lawful earnings. Yes.
