Advice on consuming lawful food and abandoning that which is forbidden.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
After this detailed explanation, I advise everyone who is afflicted with earnings that contain what is forbidden, and those who depend on him, to try to extricate themselves from such earnings. This is based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
but hell is more fitting for all flesh which has grown out of what is unlawful كل لحم نبت من السحت فالنار أولى به
Mishkat al-Masabih 2772
There is no doubt that this hadith, which contains this severe ruling like other rulings of the Shari'ah, falls within the general scope of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whatever I have commanded you to do, do as much of it as you are able. ما أمرتكم به من شيء فأتوا منه ما استطعتم
Sahih Ibn Hibban 15:14
So, a Muslim should distance himself from a life built on forbidden earnings as much as he is able. If any of the sons can earn his daily sustenance with the sweat of his brow, that is better for him and more lasting. Yes.
