The Ruling on Disposing of Illicit Wealth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person has illicit wealth, is he permitted to distribute it among the poor and use it to print books and tapes?
Answer:
Yes, if he has wealth that is not pure: he should spend it in the causes of good, such as charity for the poor, or use it to print books; there is nothing wrong with that.
Q: Will it be accepted?
The Shaykh: No, meaning his conscience is cleared; the clearing of his conscience is a blessing, and he will be rewarded for his good intention, if Allah wills.
