Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I took a riba loan, then I repented to Allah and paid off the debt and the increase. I paid off the debt and the increase, but the party from whom I took the loan returned to me some of the increase that I had paid. Is it permissible for me to benefit from this increase that they returned to me?
Answer:
Yes, as long as their hearts are pleased with it and they gave it to you, take it. Yes.
