Is it permissible to pay off an usurious loan with ill-gotten money?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The questioner committed a sin by unlawfully consuming another's wealth. He must repent and return the money he acquired through deceptive means to the party from whom he took it. He should not repay it as an interest-bearing debt or any other type of debt. His conscience remains burdened by this debt until he returns it to its rightful owners.
