In the Name of Allāh, the Entirely Gracious, the Exclusively Merciful

📩 Question:

The questioner says: The one whose wealth is from harām, and he wants to free himself from it, what should he do with it?

📝 The answer:

Upon him is to repent to Allāh جل وعلا from the harām, and to seek forgiveness from Allāh for it, and to be determined upon not returning to obtaining harām wealth, and upon him is to free himself from it. So, he gets rid of it with the intention of freeing himself from it, and with the intention of repentance.

Regardless of if he gives it to the poor, or the needy, or for a good cause, or for the masājid, it is halāl for the one who it is dismissed to.

And from the mistakes is to think that it is not permissible to eat from this wealth, because its origins were from harām. Because when he intended to free himself from it, then he is commanded to take this path, and the dismissal of the wealth becomes something which he is commanded with, so it becomes halāl for the one it is dismissed to.

And this dismissal is not specific to mending pathways and the likes of this, as many of the people wrongly believe, rather it is also permissible to dismiss it to the poor and the needy.

What’s left is that if he himself is in need of the money. If it is coerced or stolen, then it is not permissible for him absolutely, as this is the rights of others. And if it was from harām earnings, such as from selling alcohol, or the likes of this, and he is needy, in need of it, then he should take that which suffices his needs from the wealth, and dismiss the rest.

And Allāh knows best.
