Fatwa number ( 10607 )
Q: I am from the Sudanese lands, and I wish to seek your ruling on some matters of our noble religion. The matter is this: I am from a family in western Sudan, and I have an older sister who is married. Her husband has allowed her to buy intoxicants, and they earn their livelihood from their sale. I have advised her and her husband that this is not permissible, that she must repent, and that her husband should strive to work so that he can provide for their children. However, they rejected this from me. When I persisted in urging them to abandon this matter, one day they argued with me, even taking sticks and knives to stab me, and they prevented me from going to them. But because of maintaining family ties, and so that I would be included in the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 4032Sahih (Darussalam), narrated by al-Tirmidhi—I go to them and maintain ties with them, and I do not cut them off. They have felt in their hearts that they are wrong, especially when I went to them on the day of the festival and asked them for forgiveness. Likewise, I do not eat or drink
the food they serve me, for I only convey my greetings and return to my residence in al-Dakhiliyyah, where I am a student at the Faculty of Engineering. One day, a relative invited me to drive them to my sister’s house, and it was a Monday. I fast on Mondays and Thursdays. They prepared water for breaking the fast for me, and I drank out of necessity and out of shyness before the brothers who were there, as I are a stranger among them. The question is: If they offer me water and food, should I drink and eat, or is this forbidden? Because they are hosting me, and I doubt this food, as its basis is from what is forbidden — meaning that the price of selling alcohol is what they use to buy the food. Previously, I did not accept anything. I ask you to inform me, may Allah bless you and your days. I also inform you that I am from the group of (Tawhid) in Sudan (the group of Anصار al-Sunnah al-Muhammadiyyah), and I find that most of my family hate me and harm me, but I do not leave them because of family ties. If the harm increases, should I cut ties with them or not?
A : You have done well in advising your sister and her husband to refrain from selling alcohol, and you have fulfilled your obligation. As for their food, if you are certain or it is most likely that the food served to you is from the earnings of your relatives from alcohol — do not eat from it; because it is forbidden wealth.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
