The Ruling on Inheriting Wealth Mixed with Riba
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And if most of his wealth is riba (usury or interest), and he has signed [documents], is his wealth inherited?
The Shaykh:
It is inherited; his wealth is inherited, except if it is known with certainty that a portion of it is riba. It should be given in charity as a precaution, because it may be mixed or confused. If they know that it is like this portion, and they give it in charity, it is safer for them, so that it is not riba, or if they know that it was usurped from so-and-so, or something similar. If they know of such a thing, they should be cautious. But if they do not know, the default is soundness.
The questioner:
I know that he worked in a riba bank and bought a car for two hundred and ten thousand. Is there any obligation on him regarding that?
The Shaykh:
It may be permissible for her if she had other reasons. It may be permissible for her if she had other reasons. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bought from the Jews, and they were people of riba. If you know that this specific money is from riba, then it is upon her. Yes, the liability is upon him. Yes.
