The Ruling on Shares in Riba-Based Banks in the Father’s Estate
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The man says: Our father passed away and left behind wealth, including shares in riba (usury or interest) banks, and the amount is substantial. Do we take them with their profits, or do we take the principal and give the profits in charity? Ashm Block.
The Shaykh:
They eat only the principal.
The questioner:
And the excess.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Rejoice in Allah.
The Shaykh:
Yes. In terms of lineage, okay, Al-Tamim, yes. Listen, yes.
