The question

Have the fatwas concerning unlawful money been retracted, such as fatwa number: 3951, which prohibits money resulting from unlawful trade, and fatwa number: 50478, which permits investing it and inclines towards the permissibility of its profit, and does the phrase "halal only" mean there is no disagreement?

The answer

The strives to investigate and present the most preponderant of the sayings of the people of knowledge, and there is no objection to retracting an initial and issuing a fatwa based on what has become evident as having stronger proof, following the example of the righteous predecessors. As for the two questions, the origin of the money is forbidden in both issues, and the discussion was about the profit resulting from investing this money. The first fatwa warned against such profit without explicitly declaring it forbidden, while the second fatwa mentioned the differing opinions of jurists and favored the view that permitting it is closer to correctness.
