Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The second question.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : One of the brothers, his father works in free mixing of men and women.
The Shaykh : In what?
The questioner : He also works in this matter, and his income is not sufficient; it is little for marriage and for the needs he has to meet. He wants to gather his money so that he can launch his business. So, during this period in which he is gathering this money through this business, is it permissible for him to live on his father's money?
The Shaykh : And what is his father's money?
The questioner : Yes?
The Shaykh : What is his father's money?
The questioner : I didn't understand, the phone, it doesn't hear, does it?
The Shaykh : What is the matter with his father's money?
The questioner : He works in free mixing of men and women.
The Shaykh : What? Free mixing of men and women!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And what do you mean by free mixing of men and women?
The questioner : I mean his money is forbidden money.
The Shaykh : Yes, do you call that free mixing of men and women? It is not permissible, my brother, to eat forbidden money. It is not permissible, and nothing justifies committing a forbidden act.
The questioner : I mean, this father who works in free mixing of men and women, is his money not forbidden money?
The Shaykh : I am telling you, it is not permissible for the son to eat from forbidden money.
The questioner : Even for this necessity, meaning to gather money?
The Shaykh : There is no necessity. The necessity is not here. Necessity is the necessity of facing death and destruction. There is no necessity here, especially since today they exaggerate in mahr (bridal gifts) and overdo it, buying things that are not luxuries, let alone necessities.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : And may Allah reward you, and peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: Yes.
