Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is an Egyptian resident abroad. He says: Honorable Shaykh, we have a neighbor whose income is forbidden. From time to time he sends us food or meals, and we eat from it, even though he works in a place that sells alcoholic beverages. Is it permissible for us to eat from his gifts and the meats and vegetables he sends us?
Answer:
If he has no income other than the forbidden income you mentioned, then it is not permissible for you to eat from his food or accept his gifts from what is forbidden. However, if he has another income in addition to the forbidden earnings he has, but he has another lawful income, then there is no harm in eating from his food and accepting his gifts, because it is not established that that is from the forbidden. Yes.
