Is it permissible for a son to take money from his father if it is from usurious earnings?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible for a son to take money from his father if the son knows that the father earned this money from riba (usury or interest)?
The Shaykh : If the question intends that he takes what he does not need, then in one opinion it is not permissible for him to do so. However, if the son lives with his father, under his care and protection, then it is permissible for him to eat from his father’s money, which he earns through a haram (forbidden) means, provided he keeps in mind that he must get rid of this money at the earliest opportunity that becomes available to him. This is permissible from the standpoint of dire necessity, given that his life is under his father’s protection; otherwise, it is not permissible.
The questioner : ... the Shaytan
The Shaykh : We ask Allah to protect us from the Shayatins (devils) of humans and jinn.
