Question:
Peace be upon you. A questioner says: Some companies have emerged, and it is said that they took two decisions without his knowledge, except that it became clear to him after the distribution. What do you see in that? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If you entered into it while you were ignorant of its matter, and it became clear to you that it contains riba (usury or interest), then take your share of the capital and the increase, if it reached you and you received it. You must dispose of it in charitable projects or works that benefit the Muslims. This is in the category of repentance, not in the category of charity. This is in the category of repentance and getting rid of it, not in the category of charity. Yes.
