Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How do I get rid of haram (forbidden) wealth if it has become mixed with the halal (lawful) wealth I earned in accordance with the Islamic Shari'ah?
Answer:
Answer: You must estimate the amount of haram (forbidden) wealth in your possession and be scrupulous in doing so. Then, you should give it in charity to the poor, not as sadaqah (voluntary charity), but as a means of getting rid of the haram (forbidden) wealth to clear your conscience. This wealth is to be treated as wealth that has no owner, and it is to be given to the poor and the needy.
