Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: ... Yes, my father bought a car with a check, meaning he bought it through a method... some people with him... the car... so is this car...?

The Shaykh: Clarify your question, because I did not understand it.

The questioner: Yes, I am saying my father bought a car.

The Shaykh: When?

The questioner: A part of the price remained due on him.

The Shaykh: It remained.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: A part of its price remained due to whom?

The questioner: To its owners...

The Shaykh: Meaning the car...

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: All right.

The questioner: They said...

The Shaykh: Are you speaking about something that has already happened?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: Or is it something that will happen?

The questioner: ... It has happened.

The Shaykh: All right.

The questioner: ... that... three thousand... goes into this specific car... it is forbidden... there is a prohibition in it.

The Shaykh: Who is paying it... what does it have to do with the matter?

The questioner: These three thousand... the previous owners of the car, the remaining price of the car.

The Shaykh: Okay, why don't you say, for example, that he wrote a promissory note between him and the car owners? Why do you say a check? I know a check has a connection to the bank?

The questioner: Yes, that is right.

The Shaykh: Okay, say and clarify the issue, I am telling you, meaning he has to pay it to the bank.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: He has to pay it to the bank, he has capital in the bank.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: So what does he have to do, pay it in the bank?

The questioner: ... to the bank... and the bank transfers these funds to the car owners.

The Shaykh: So in summary, he bought the car.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: Through an unlawful method.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: Through a usurious method.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: So you are asking about the earnings that the father obtains.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: From the car that was bought through a usurious method, meaning is there a prohibition in this matter or not?

The questioner: Yes, this...

The Shaykh: May Allah guide you, it requires the whole cycle and turn, of course it includes everything, and why did you leave your father to buy a forbidden thing?

The questioner: By Allah, I did not... except after everything was completed, meaning.

The Shaykh: Yes, may Allah deliver you from unlawful wealth.
