Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man took a sum of money from me without my permission. When I demanded the money back, he brought it to me with an increase, and informed me that he had traded with this money and made a profit. His question is: Do I deserve this increase that he brought me?
Answer:
You do not deserve it. You did not contract with him for a profit-sharing partnership. You did not contract with him for a profit-sharing partnership such that you would receive some of the profit along with your capital. You did not contract with him. He took it, traded with it, sold with it, bought with it, and brought you your capital and an increase. The increase is not lawful for you. Take your capital and do not take the increase, because you did not contract with him for that. Yes.
