Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is a woman asking. She says: My brother works at the Cooperative Insurance Company, and he gave me a gift of one thousand riyals. Is it permissible for me to benefit from this amount, knowing that he will be greatly affected if I return his money to him?
Answer:
The best thing is for you to give it in charity. He does not know that you are giving it to a deserving person to get rid of it. This is the best.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
