Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Honorable Shaykh! I lent one of our colleagues a sum of money, and he sold a car and bought a car with riba (usury or interest). He wanted to pay me back from the car amount,I asked him to pay me back from his salary, and he said: since it is all in one account number. Is it permissible for me to take it from him?
