Ruling on receiving a scholarship from an organisation that deals with riba - Islam Question & Answer

Ruling on receiving a scholarship from an organisation that deals with riba - Islam Question & Answer: There is nothing wrong with you making use of this scholarship, even if the organisation commits some haraam actions, or some of its sources of income are from haraam wealth, because in the case of money that is haraam because of the manner in which it was earned, it is haraam only for the one who earned it, and it is not haraam for the one who takes it from him in a permissible manner, such as if it is a gift or reward and the like. With regard to your father’s participation in this organisation, that is subject to further details, which may be seen in the long answer.
