The question

ما هي الأقسام التي يجب أخذها في الاعتبار عند تقسيم المال المكتسب من عمل ربوي إلى نصفين حسب فتوى شيخ الإسلام، مع العلم بوجود أقسام تم إنفاقها أو استثمارها أو إقراضها أو ادخارها أو أقساط مؤجلة؟ وهل يجوز أخذ إعانات البطالة من الدولة الفرنسية رغم الشبهة في نظامها؟

The answer

Working in usurious banks is forbidden, and whatever is taken from them is entirely unlawful, because it is illicit wealth. The principle is to completely dispose of it in charitable causes and good deeds, and to give it to the poor and needy. However, if any of it was used to purchase real estate or given as a gift, etc., then that amount becomes a liability and must be repaid.

Some scholars are of the view that a person who repents from illicit earnings, if they were unaware of its prohibition when they received it, may keep what they possess of it and are not obliged to dispose of it, and it is permissible for them to benefit from it. This is in contrast to a person who was aware of its prohibition, in which case they are only permitted to use from it what is necessary for their needs, and the remainder must be disposed of.

Regarding assistance provided to the unemployed, there is no apparent doubt concerning its permissibility. It is commonly understood to be a grant from the state, and there is no objection to it if the individual is eligible for it according to the agency's conditions.
