1. We presume that your friend approached the court with the intention of retrieving his right i.e. losses incurred after the accident. The court ruled Rs 8 lakh in his favour, Rs 5 lakh of which was interest. In our understanding, Rs 3 lakh was in lieu of the actual losses, whilst the remainder Rs 5 lakh interest was a charge for the delay in payment (of losses incurred after the accident). If our understanding is correct, then it will not be permissible for your friend to accept the Rs 5 lakh, as it is interest money. When it is known that he will be receiving Rs 5 lakh interest, it will not be permissible for him to accept that amount.
2. The exact words of the wife are required to determine the validity of the nikāh, inheritance of the child etc. Therefore, we appreciate if her exact wordings be forwarded to us.
قوله ( إلا في حق الوارث الخ ) أي فإنه إذا علم أن كسب مورثه حرام يحل له لكن إذا علم المالك بعينه فلا شك في حرمته ووجوب رده عليه وهذا معنى قوله وقيده في الظهيرية الخ وفي منية المفتي مات رجل ويعلم الوارث أن أباه كان يكسب من حيث لا يحل ولكن لا يعلم الطالب بعينه ليرد عليه حل له الإرث والأفضل أن يتورع ويتصدق بنية خصماء أبيه ا هـ وكذا لا يحل إن علم عين الغصب مثلا وإن لم يعلم مالكه لما في البزازية أخذ مورثه رشوة أو ظلما إذا علم ذلك بعينه لا يحل له أخذه وإلا فله أخذه حكما أما في الديانة فيتصدق به بنية إرضاء الخصماء ا هـ والحاصل أنه إن علم أرباب الأموال وجب رده عليهم وإلا فإن علم عين الحرام لا يحل له ويتصدق به بنية صاحبه وإن كان مالا مختلطا مجتمعا من الحرام ولا يعلم أربابه ولا شيئا منه بعينه حل له حكما والأحسن ديانة التنزه عنه (حاشية ابن عابدين، 5/99، سعيد)
