Question
What is the position if a house was bought with only haraam money – proceeds of gambling and interest? Do the heirs inherit such a house?
Answer
If the house was bought with only riba or any other haraam money, then it is not permissible to live in such a house. It is Waajib to give this house in Sadqah to the poor, or it may be sold and the money compulsorily given to the poor. The heirs do not inherit this haraam house.
