Possessing forbidden wealth acquired through inheritance is permissible
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a person inherits money from someone and knows that a portion of this money, for example ten thousand or twenty thousand, is explicit, forbidden riba (usury or interest), and the rest is unknown or mixed, what should he do with the explicit, forbidden riba?
There is nothing wrong with it; it is lawful for him, because he acquired it through a permissible means, which is inheritance. However, if you know that this is so-and-so’s money and that the deceased usurped it, then it is not lawful for you. But if it is forbidden due to how it was earned, such as riba (usury or interest) or the like, then there is nothing wrong with it.
