The ruling on the wealth of one who traded in intoxicants and then repented

Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, the questioner says: A person used to trade in the business of intoxicants, and Allah accepted his repentance after he had accumulated a large fortune from this trade. He went to perform the obligatory Hajj, and he was living a very good life, and he is still in that state. What is the ruling on this fortune? Is it lawful for him, or is it forbidden? And what should he do with the properties he has?

Answer:
He is required to repent to Allah. If he repents to Allah, then what has passed is forgiven of him. Allah the Exalted and Majestic said: If it was done out of ignorance, then repentance is sufficient, and what has passed is forgiven of him. He must be careful and steadfast in obedience to Allah and His Messenger, and he must beware of what Allah has forbidden for him. If it was done with the knowledge that these mixtures are forbidden, with knowledge, then let him give in charity what he is able to, until he discharges what entered him of the forbidden. He gives in charity to the poor and the needy from the wealth Allah has provided him, until he purifies his conscience.
