Is a gift from one who deals in riba (usury or interest) acceptable?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a person deals in riba (usury or interest), is his gift acceptable?
Even if, if not all of his wealth is riba (usury or interest). Allah has permitted us to eat the food of the Jews, and they deal in riba (usury or interest), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bought food from them and pledged his armor to them.
However, if you know that it is from riba (usury or interest) money, or that all of his wealth is riba (usury or interest), do not accept it.
Q: He works in a bank and has no source of income other than this bank?
A: Do not accept it.
