Is The Money Earned From Haram Way Also Haram In Itself?
@Irfan76 there are several questions regarding this concept sir 1- A person you used to earn money from Haram things but that which didn’t involve usurpation of other’s money. like the example mentioned above. if the person truly repents from that life of earning Haram. would the money earned be allowable to use? as the money became Haram because of his Haram act. but with sincere tawbah Allah forgives the mistake, so intellectually doesn’t the money be allowable to use as well, as this money also doesn’t belong to someone else as well? 2 – Does this apply to things which can be termed wealth? thing which can be used to give benefit to others. like assets (car, house), money, from which benefit is also taken and they can be sold or given as well. or does it apply to other non wealth things too? like for example driving license (some officer made a demand that he’ll make driving license if he’s given a gift of whisky. a person proceeds with it and got license, will he be sinful everytime he is stopped by police to show his license and he presents that license to clear his investigation, ie taking benefit from that licence), or for example achieving someone’s friendship by doing Haram (a person who pleased someone by doing a Haram act. this pleasing started their friendship, so after tawbah, is the man required to give up the friendship with him). 3 – if someone gets a car by doing something Haram (not usurpation of someone’s right) for example, the money he earned by giving services of taxi using this car, would the money earned by these services be Haram as well? 4 – Keeping the example number 3 in mind, if that person sells the car and with that money buys more smaller assets. and with those assets he traded some more things. so each and every thing he got further in this chain, would be Haram for him to use because at each step he used something that was Haram on him to use to get something else ( ie at each step where he received a thing, he gave a thing in return which was Haram on him to give). But if that person didn’t know that the use of this car was also Haram on him or taking benefit on this car was Haram for him. this would mean that while selling the car he didn’t deliberately disobey Allah’s command (as he was not aware of it) and he got some money in return, and the chain continued. but the things he has now wouldn’t be Haram for him right? because he didn’t get those things by deliberate violation of Allah’s command. he got those things by using the money, which he got from selling car, while selling car he didn’t disobey Allah. (analogously he would be at the same place as like a person who while doing business of selling dead meat, wasn’t aware that selling dead meat is a sin, so this thing didn’t render his earned money Haram, if he stops selling it as soon as he realizes)
yes of course
