Question:
May Allah reward you. We conclude this episode with this question. One of the brothers, whose name is abbreviated as M.S., says: I took a loan and I did not know that it was forbidden. I benefited from it and spent it, and now I have learned that it is forbidden. What should I do?
Answer:
You must repent to Allah and not return to such a thing. As long as the money has been exhausted and nothing remains of it, we ask Allah to forgive you if you repent to Him and do not return to it. Yes.
