Is it permissible to reside in a house bought by the father with an interest-based loan, and is it obligatory to donate it, or its current value, or its original value in charity? And is it obligatory to donate the amount of the land that the father bought with his interest-based salary, or the amount of its sale in charity? And will the worshiper's acts of worship be accepted in this house?
There is no blame upon you for benefiting from a house purchased with a usurious loan, as the prohibition of the usurious loan is attached to the borrower's liability, not to the specific item it was used for. The same applies to what a father bought with his salary earned from unlawful work; repentance involves getting rid of the amount of unlawful money, and the prohibition is not attached to the land itself. What is obligatory is to dispose of only the amount the father earned from his unlawful work, after he became aware of its prohibition.
