Prohibition of eating the food provided by those whose income is ill-gotten

Q 1: What is the ruling on eating in the houses of Muslim relatives whose money is unlawful? Is it permissible for us to borrow money from them?


A: If a person is sure that the money or the food presented to him is unlawful, he should not eat it. There are many texts that ask Muslims (Part No. 14; Page No. 32) to eat what is good and to abstain from eating what is unlawful. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
