How does a Muslim get rid of haram money?

Question:
And another says: I am a young man who used to trade in narcotics before I was guided, may Allah guide me and make me among those who are guided. I took approximately one hundred thousand riyals from the sale of narcotics, and I left forty thousand with the seller. What should I do? Should I give this money in charity, since I am unable to give it all at once? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, you must repent to Allah and be sincere in that, and persist in repentance, and dispose of this money in ways that benefit the Muslims: the poor and the needy, and sending it to the mujahideen in Afghanistan, and likewise to the intifada in Palestine, and the like, such as the mujahideen in the Philippines. All this money is like lost money, because it came from a forbidden source. If it is spent on the causes of good, it benefits the Muslims, and you are rid of it and free from its evil.
