Declaring a deceased usurer a disbeliever
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: A relative of mine passed away while he was dealing in riba (usury or interest). We now want to declare him a disbeliever. What is the Sharia-compliant way to do this?
Answer: It is prescribed for the heirs to ascertain the amount of riba (usury or interest) that he had gained and to give it in charity on his behalf, and to pray for his forgiveness and pardon.
We ask Allah to forgive us and him, and every Muslim.
