Summary
Assets gained through non-Shariah-compliant means such as riba, gharar, gambling, fraud, robbery, seizure and bribery are haram and may not be used for one's own benefit. They must be purified by handing them to the Baitulmal for the general welfare of Muslims, or to the poor and needy. If the assets were robbed or stolen, they must be returned to the owner, or to the heirs if the owner has died or cannot be found, and to the Baitulmal if neither can be identified.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Di dalam Islam harta-harta yang diperolehi dengan cara yang tidak mematuhi syariah seperti riba, gharar, perjudian, penipuan, rompakan, rampasan, rasuah dan seumpamanya adalah haram
