What is the ruling concerning a sewing machine I bought with usury; should I sell it or keep it, along with repentance and seeking forgiveness?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Repentance is necessary for engaging in usury. The purchased appliance is owned by the questioner, and there is no harm in using or benefiting from it, because the sin of usury is not attached to the borrowed asset itself, but rather to the borrower's liability.
