Is it permissible to profit from a partnership in buying recharge cards whose source is a bribe, and what should be done with the profit previously earned, knowing its source?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Bribery is among the gravest of forbidden acts, and it prohibits the purchase of cards obtained through bribery. Whoever buys them is wrongfully disposing of another's property, and ownership of these cards is not transferred to the buyer. If their forbidden benefit has been realized, there remains no use for them except to spend their price on the general welfare of Muslims. Any profit exceeding their value belongs to the seller in return for his effort and guarantee.
