One who has shares in a riba-based company and wants to get rid of this percentage: in what way should he dispose of it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, what about a person who has shares in a company, and it turns out that it contains a percentage of riba, and he wants to get rid of this percentage? In which ways should he dispose of it? For example, mosques, or such, or are there specific things to which it is restricted?
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. Any wealth that enters a person’s possession through a forbidden means, and then he repents from it, he should dispose of it in ways that bring him closer to Allah, such as building mosques, giving charity to the poor, and the like. The important thing is that he removes it from his ownership to rid himself of it, in any form of good, whether in building mosques or in giving charity to the poor. Yes.
