Question
A house was bought with haraam money which was acquired from gambling, interest and other haraam ways. The owner has died. Do his heirs inherit the house?
Answer
No! The house must incumbently be given away as Sadqah or it may be sold and the money given as Sadqah. It is not permissible for the heirs to even live in the haraam house.
