Share
The Details of the Question
- Can household goods obtained through haram ways before one becomes a Muslim be used by him after becoming a Muslim in case of necessity?
- Is haram money not regarded as necessity for that person before becoming a Muslim since he had no earning other than haram at that time?
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
A person may have earned money and wealth through haram ways based on his wrong religion or irreligion when he was an unbeliever. They do not become haram when he becomes a Muslim.
If he has obtained the wealth of others illegitimately, he has to return them to their owners.
