What is the ruling on a driver taking wages for his work in a car purchased by his father with usurious money, and does the sin fall on him or on his father, and what should he do concerning this money?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The father erred by taking out a loan with interest (riba), which is a declaration of war against Allah and His Messenger. He must sincerely repent, not return to such a sin, and hasten to repay the loan. As for the car, it entered his possession if he purchased it with a valid contract. There is no sin upon the son for working with it and taking his wages.
