Disposing of ill-gotten money after entering Islam

Q 1: What should one do with the unlawful money he earned before accepting Islam? Should he give it away in charity? Is it permissible for him to invest such money? After investing such money, does it become lawful for him or not? Give us the ruling on this question as soon as possible, may Allah bless you for it!

A: Whoever embraces Islam and has ill-gotten money which he earned before embracing Islam, such money is lawful to him and he is not obliged to get rid of it. This is because Islam wipes out all that has gone before it. If some people have a right to such money, he has to give it back (Part No. 24; Page No. 367) to them.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
