Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A woman is asking, and she says: A man proposed to me who bought a house through riba (usury or interest), and he intends to get rid of this house, but at a time when it will not result in a loss for him. Her question is: In such a case, would this be a reason for me not to accept his proposal?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to do that; rather, he must get rid of it at the earliest opportunity, and it must not remain in his ownership. He must get rid of it at the earliest opportunity. Yes.
