Taking back one's capital amount from a haraam investment
Question
Once I bought a prize bond, but when I realized it's not permissible, I sold it back.
Is the money from selling it back that was originally mine will also be considered as haraam or halaal?
Simply I just refunded back my investment upon knowing that the prize of the bond is haraam?
Answer
You can take back your capital amount.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
