The ruling on the Son using the Wealth of his Father who indulges in Riba Transactions
Question :
Is it permissible for the son to use some of the wealth of his father who indulges in Riba transactions?
Answer:
Riba is forbidden according to the Book, the Sunnah and the consensus (Ijma') of the scholars. If your father indulges in Riba transactions, it is obligatory on you to advise him by explaining Riba, its ruling and what Allâh has prepared for its people of torment. It is not permissible for you to take from the wealth of your father as long as you know that it is Riba that has entered into his possession by way of dealing with Riba. You must seek sustenance from Allâh and exhaust the legislated means that Allâh has given for seeking sustenance.
"And whoever fears Allâh, He will make a way out for him (of his problems) and He will provide for him from where he does not reckon."
And whoever fears Allah, He will give him ease in his affair."
" May Allâh send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his Companions.
