Is it permissible to use a watch that was bought with stolen money, knowing that I was unaware of that at the time of purchase?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the money with which the father bought the watch was unlawful, he must repent and return the rights to their owners or seek their forgiveness. As for the son's use of the watch, there is no harm in it, because the unlawful aspect is related to the father's responsibility.
