Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If someone were to ask: Is material sustenance lawful sustenance, or does it include both lawful and unlawful?
Answer : The second answer is that even the sustenance of highway robbers is from the sustenance of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. The sustenance of those who engage in riba (usury or interest) is from the sustenance of Allah, and the sustenance of disbelievers is from the sustenance of Allah. For this reason, it is said that this is from the lawful, just as it is from the unlawful; both are sustenance, and Allah is the Provider in this regard, meaning in the sense that He provided him with food and caused food to flow through his limbs. Yes.
