The ruling on dealing with one whose wealth is mixed with lawful and unlawful

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it permissible to deal with a man whose wealth is mixed with lawful and unlawful in buying and selling? And does this fall under the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (So whoever avoids doubtful matters...
) ؟
Yes, it is permissible for a person to deal with one whose wealth contains both lawful and unlawful in buying and selling. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dealt with the Jews, who were known for consuming usury or interest and illicit gains. He bought from them. In fact, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) died while his armor was pledged with a Jew. And what is better—and considering that you are a student of knowledge— is to review Ibn Rajab’s (may Allah have mercy on him) commentary on the Forty Hadith of al-Nawawi, at the hadith of al-Nu'man ibn Bashir: (The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear) . He mentioned what will please your soul, if Allah wills.Even Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: [Whoever earns unlawful wealth and then it passes to another through a lawful means, there is no sin on him. He has his benefit, and the first person has his loss or his sin] , except for something you know specifically to be unlawful.For example: For example, a thief selling to you what he stole, and you know that this is the stolen item. You do not buy that.
