Question:
A man says: A person took something from my money without asking my permission, then asked me for forgiveness. I said to him, "Pay me a sum of money and I will forgive you." Is my action permissible?
Answer:
Take your money, take your principal, which is what may be returned to you without any increase. An increase has no basis. So take what was taken from your money, and that is sufficient. Do not forgive me. May Allah reward you with good. Yes.
