The Ruling on Eating from the Food of One Who Sells Songs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I have a relative who has a shop for selling songs, and I seek refuge in Allah from that. Is it permissible for us to eat from his food, or is eating from it forbidden? Please note that he lives with us.
Answer:
If his wealth comes only from selling songs, then its price is forbidden, and it is not permissible to eat from his food. However, if he has sources of income other than selling songs, then it is permissible to eat from his food, because it is not established that it is from the price of the songs.
