Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a person obtained huge amounts, estimated in the hundreds of millions, from riba (usury or interest), and he repented to Allah the Exalted. What should he do with this money?
Answer:
He should put it into projects, he should put it into public projects, because it is like lost money that has no owner. It is to be placed in public projects for people, such as roads, bathrooms, or parks where people benefit. It is to be placed in public projects, and it is not to be used to build mosques, because it is impure money; it is not to be used to build mosques. Yes.
