Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I am a university student and my brother is the one who spends on me, and I have a doubt that his money is from a haram (forbidden) source. What is your advice to me?
Answer:
A doubt is not sufficient. If you are certain that it is haram (forbidden), then it is not permissible to use it. But if you do not know that it is haram, the default is permissibility, and praise be to Allah. Do not be too strict with yourself. Yes.
