Question:
May Allah answer you in her other question. She says: My father (may Allah guide him) works in a grocery store in a Western country, and in that store there are many forbidden goods, such as pork and what they call beer, among other things. I have tried to persuade him to leave this work, but to no avail. The question is: Is the money he brings to us forbidden?
grows from what is forbidden, the Fire is more deserving of itنبت من حرام فالنار أولى به
? Please note that our family consists of children who are still young and cannot support themselves, and my father is the only worker. If it is forbidden, what is the solution? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is not permissible for a Muslim to sell forbidden substances, such as alcohol, pork, and anything else that Allah has forbidden. If the store belongs to someone else, he is cooperating with its owner in sin and transgression. What he obtains in return for this work is forbidden. Therefore, he must repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and restrict himself to lawful earnings. As for you, if you know that the money he spends on you is from forbidden work, it is not permissible for you to accept it. However, if you do not know, or if the father has a large amount of wealth that is mixed, containing both lawful and forbidden, meaning his money is mixed with some forbidden in it, there is no harm in eating from it, because it has not been specified that this expenditure is from the forbidden money. Yes.
