Using stolen money to study
Question
I did an online earning course with stolen money.
My question is that is it permissible for me to earn money with these skills that I have learned during the course?
Answer
It is permissible to earn through the skills acquired through the course on condition that the work/contract conforms to shariah. However, you should make tawbah for stealing the money and return the stolen money to the person you stole it from.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
