Eating from a brother's wealth that is mixed with haram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, the last question says: My brother sometimes obtains money through a forbidden method, and we know that his money, or some of it, contains what is haram (forbidden). But sometimes he brings home some items from his money, and some items may be brought, and then we use them. What is the ruling on eating with him or using these items?

Answer:
First, you must advise him and warn him about the haram (forbidden). Second, if he brings something and you do not know that it is from the haram (forbidden), there is no harm, provided he has lawful money and he has haram (forbidden) money, and he brings you something, then eat it, unless you know that it is from the haram (forbidden). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to eat from the food of the Jews, even though they dealt in riba (usury or interest), because they had types of lawful money. Yes.
