Q: I am a Muslim man from
Egypt.
I
went
to
Iraq
to work three years ago. I was working there in the field of construction. An Iraqi man asked me to recommend him an architect to cover his house with tiles. Satan insinuated me to do this work myself though I am not well-experienced in this work. I did this mission without telling the owner of the house. My work was very bad and I received the fees of this work. After the passage of three years, I still feel great regret for that sin. Moreover, I do not have enough money to repay these fees to the owner of the house. There is no means to contact this person except through traveling to Iraq. Moreover, I am fighting in the cause of Allah in (Part No. 15; Page No. 155)
Afghanistan.
What should I do? How can I repent to Allah?
A-
You have to try to return the money back to the owner of this house as much as you can unless he forgives you. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
