Request:
asalamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatuLlah wa baraktuh.
I took a loan of money from my Financial institution and I am paying ribaa on that amount.
What can I do so Allah ta’ala forgive me this? Is there anyway to expiate this?
Allah bless you, please salam to Sheikh Hisham, we kiss his feet from here, make dua’a for me.
Response:
wa `alaykum salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
To take a loan with usury is forbidden. You should ask forgiveness of Allah and make sincere repentance. Get out of that Haram dealings if you can as soon as possible.
As far as expiation of sin is concerned, repent, ask forgiveness of Allah (swt) and increase good deeds. “…verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds…” Qur’an (11:114).
