Question:
The questioner says: I have money that I used to trade with, buying and selling, and this money was from lawful earnings. However, in some of my trading, I used to deceive people. So what is the way to repent from that?
Answer:
Repentance to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) involves not returning to this transaction, feeling regret for what has passed, and abandoning this forbidden transaction. If you have money that reached you through deception and lying, give it in charity to rid yourself of it through charity. Yes.
