What is the ruling on a woman who suspects that her husband is feeding them from haram (forbidden) sources?

Question:
My husband’s salary is modest, and it runs out before the end of the month. He does not do any extra work. Before he receives his second salary—that is, in the middle of the month, or at the end of it—he brings us meat, vegetables, and fruit. I suspect that it is from haram (forbidden) sources: from selling narcotics. What should I do? Should I eat from it and feed my children? Or what should I do?

Answer:
You must advise him and remind him of Allah: that he should seek out what is halal (lawful). As long as he says, “No, it is not haram (forbidden),” leave your suspicion of him alone. Leave the bad suspicion. He may be borrowing, or he may be taking on debt to buy for you. You should have a good opinion of him. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says in His great Book: [Al-Hujurat: 12], and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . You should have a good opinion of him and not suspect him of evil, unless you know that he bought this food with haram (forbidden) money: with intoxicants, with riba (usury or interest). No, as long as you do not know, assume the best of him, think well of him, and advise him. He may have borrowed from people, or some people may have given him assistance.
He should also be economical to the extent of his ability, and you likewise should not burden him with anything that harms him or hurts him. You should ask for what is possible. Tell him: “Do not burden yourself. Give me what is possible. Fruit is not a necessity. If he cannot afford fruit, fruit is not a necessity. He brings what is possible. Even if you eat nothing but dates, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Companions lived for a long time in Madinah eating nothing but dates. They had nothing other than dates. Be patient and persevere, and be glad of good. Do not encourage him to do what harms him by eating haram (forbidden) food. You should speak kindly to him: “Oh so-and-so, Oh father of so-and-so, do not burden yourself. What is made easy for you according to your salary is enough. Sometimes dates, sometimes bread, sometimes meat, according to what is made easy, until Allah makes things easy.”
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “A new moon appeared, then another new moon, then another new moon—meaning in Madinah—when no fire was lit in the houses of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).” Her nephew said to her: “O aunt, what sustained you?” She said: “The two blacks: dates and water.” Their food was dates and water. Sometimes a stone would be on their stomachs. They would tie a stone to their stomachs from hunger. And so it was with a group of the Companions from the Muhajireen who would go out having tied stones to their stomachs from hunger.
So the woman should help her husband with kind words and righteous deeds. She should help him not to overburden himself: “Give us, give us, give us.” She encourages him to fall into hardship. According to his salary: one day meat, one day no meat, one day fruit, one day no fruit, according to the situation.
And he likewise should be upright and fear Allah, and beware of corrupt transactions: smoking, or narcotics, or other things from the prohibited matters. He should beware and be content with what is halal (lawful), and fear Allah. And Allah will make his outcome good: [Al-Talaq: 2].
And the wife—every wife—should help her husband in what is halal (lawful). She should be gentle with him and speak kindly to him: “Oh so-and-so, do not overburden yourself. We are content with what Allah has made easy. Do not burden yourself. Do not encourage yourself to harm. According to your salary. Help him to be content with the decree of Allah, and with economy. Do not say: “Pocket, pocket, pocket for us, and give, and give,” while you are lying and you are... This is a mistake. You encourage him to fall into hardship.
