Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She sent a message saying that a married sister has four children, and her husband resides in Jeddah, where he works at a company. When he comes to us, he gives us some gifts, such as clothes. We have learned that he steals some car parts from the company where he works and sells them in the markets. Are the clothes he gives us forbidden? And is it permissible for us to pray in them? My sister did not know about this, and if she finds out, a major problem will occur because she is very temperamental. What should be done? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If you know and have verified that what he gives you is from theft, then it is not lawful for you, because it is forbidden wealth. It is not lawful for you, nor is it permissible for you to accept it. You must return it to him. Likewise, his wife must advise him and make it clear to him that this is forbidden and that it is not permissible to exploit [the company].
