The money from selling used cars as new
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I have a car dealership, and I used to sell cars to people as if they were new, but in reality they are used. Is the money I earned as a result of that haram (forbidden) money?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. Say it is haram (forbidden) money. You must get rid of it by placing it in a public project that benefits people. Get rid of it. It is not sadaqah (voluntary charity), but rather you must dispose of it. Yes.
