If a person’s haraam money is stolen, does he have to dispose of it a second time?
Question: 7832
A man had some stocks and shares in a riba-based bank, from which he earned money which he took and kept in his house. A thief entered and stole the money, then the man repented. Does he have to dispose of the money a second time?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih
al-‘Uthyameen, may Allaah preserve him, who answered:
No, he does not have to do anything.
Question:
Is that because he has repented?
Answer:
Yes.
Question:
So we can say that because he has repented, he does
not have to dispose of the money a second time?
Answer:
Yes, he does not have to do anything.
And Allaah knows best.
