Dealing with one who mixes his wealth with what is forbidden and the stance toward him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you. If it is known that he deals in riba (usury or interest), or sells prohibited instruments, or has a dental clinic or something else, should one be scrupulous about entering his place, or should one demand a separation of his wealth?
Answer:
It is obligatory to rebuke him, and he deserves to be boycotted. At the very least, boycotting him is recommended until he abandons his evil deeds. His outward appearance is one of open sinfulness, so he deserves to be boycotted. Scholars have differed on whether this is obligatory. However, he deserves to be boycotted if the boycott is beneficial. If the boycott is not beneficial, then one should persist in advising him, guiding him, and rebuking him until he rectifies his affairs. If he has mixed the lawful with the unlawful, mixing the lawful with the unlawful is not permissible because one does not know where the unlawful is. Yes. Reward him for the good, with guidance and success. Reward him for the good. Yes.
