The questioner:
The young man says: I am working in the government. A piece of land was opened up, and the army gave it to me, so I took it. He is sitting in it for four [years].
The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed.
The questioner:
It was contracted in the Karimah area, coming from someone who has no title. He took it by force while he owned his own land, and if he agreed to a term regarding the land, he was asked about a house on the land, and now it does not fall under the category of a term. What is the ruling on this land?
The Shaykh:
Now that it has been written and registered and the matter is concluded, it is difficult for him to return it and get rid of it, but he must seek forgiveness from Allah and not return to such a thing. As for before doing this thing, it is not permissible, because this is lying. Before a person does it, he should not proceed with it. But if the matter is finished and it has been written in his name and the deed has been issued, it is difficult for him to get out of it, but he should seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Allah, and not return to this matter. Yes. Do not be present before [the time].
