How to Get Rid of a Riba Loan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, how do I get rid of a riba (usury or interest) loan? I got involved in it out of ignorance, and after the house was completed, I learned the ruling of the Shari'ah. So what is the solution?
Answer:
The solution is to repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and not to return to such a thing. This is riba that has already been taken from you. If you had been the one to take the riba and possess it, we would say: give it away in charity. But since he took it from you, you must repent to Allah and not return to such an action. Yes.
