Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says that she used to go to gold shops and exchange her old gold for new gold, paying the difference between them. Her question is: How does she repent from this riba (usury or interest) transaction after she has learned its ruling, knowing that she engaged in it many times, too many to count?
Answer:
Repentance is sufficient if she repents to Allah with a valid repentance; that is sufficient, if Allah wills. Yes.
