Is it permissible for a son to accept a gift from his father who deals in riba?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I would like to ask you, if you permit, regarding a father who deals in riba. Naturally, he is wealthy, so he gave his son a car. Does the son accept it in this case?
Another questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace. Welcome. How are you?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : How are you?
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills, I am well.
The questioner : Naturally, the father deals in riba, and the son is God-fearing; he prays and is committed. So he is wondering whether he should accept the gift or not.
The Shaykh : Can he refuse to accept it?
The questioner : He can, but it is difficult for him because he is a student and not outside the house; he is inside the house, right?
The Shaykh : I understand, my brother. You know he is inside the house.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He can refuse to accept it and return it gently.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And with advice, if he is able.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Otherwise, Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. With this condition. Ah, Abu Abdullah, let us go. May Allah reward you. I know the session is very short for us first, and for you second.
The questioner : That is enough, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills. You are with Abu Abdullah.
