Question
What is the status of a house bought with doubtful (mashkook) money or haraam money? How can it be made permissible?
Answer
If the money is haraam, the house too will be haraam. Living in the house will not be permissible. The house has to be compulsorily given to the poor. If the money is mashkook, then while it will be halaal to sell it or live in it, the house remains mashkook.
No stratagem will render haraam money halaal. Forget about such stunts. Haraam money is Waajibut Tasadduq. It has to be given to the poor. You can still hang on to mashkook money.
