How to repent for one who became involved in building a house with a riba (usury or interest) loan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Libya says: Honorable Shaykh, how does one repent? For one who became involved in building a house with a riba loan, and what are the conditions of repentance in such a case?

Answer:
Repentance is that one abandons the thing he did, he abandons it and leaves it off completely, and does not return to dealing in riba. Also, he resolves not to return to it a second time. Third, he feels remorse for what happened. The conditions of repentance are three: abandoning the sin, resolving not to return to it, and feeling remorse for what happened. These are the conditions of repentance from riba and other sins. As long as he took it and used it, then repented to Allah, with the repentance he gives in charity the amount of money he took from the riba. He gives it in charity and puts it in a project so that he gets rid of it. Yes.
