The Disposition of the Wealth of a Repentant Sorcerer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: If a sorcerer repents, and he has invested his wealth and earnings from sorcery, how should he dispose of it, especially if he has built a house or started a business with some of that money?
Answer:
If the sorcerer repents with a valid repentance before he is arrested, and before he repents and abandons this matter and adheres to the obedience of Allah the Exalted, then the haram (forbidden) wealth he has should be given in charity to get rid of it. That is, he gives it in charity and places it in projects, such as those of a moneylender who has riba (usury or interest) earnings and then repents to Allah and abandons riba. He places it in beneficial charitable projects for the people to get rid of it, or he gives it in charity to the needy. Yes.

May Allah reward you
