Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: My brother, my full brother, lives with me in the house with his wife, and we have shared sheep and camels. My brother obtained a nationality in one of the countries through a forbidden method. His question is: Is the money that comes through my brother forbidden, or is it not permissible for me to eat from it?
Answer:
If he acquired it through a forbidden means, it is forbidden. If he acquired it through riba (usury or interest), gambling, or deception, it is forbidden. But if he acquired it through buying and selling that contains no forbidden element, or through a profession or work that contains no forbidden element, it is lawful. However, he commits a sin for the lying and deception; he is sinful for that. As for what he earned through a permissible means, it is lawful.
