Question

If someone bought a house with Haram money, then repented to Allah after five years and started following the Sunnah, but he still lives in this house – is it permissible for him to stay in it, or must he get rid of it?

Donate to charity the equivalent to what you paid in Haram money. Donate it, get rid of the unlawful money, then live in the house. If he donates the same amount of what he bought the house with, then the house becomes permissible for him.
