A father eating from his son's ill-gotten money


301

Q: What is the ruling on someone whose two adult sons live on their own with their families? One of the two sons is poor and the other is well-off. It is said that the prosperous son made a fortune from drugs which he found on the beach of the sea a long time ago. The two sons invite their father on certain occasions to dine with them. As the father doubts the lawfulness of the food of his wealthy son, (Part No. 14; Page No. 36) he asks for a fatwa in this regard.


A: If all the son's earnings are gained through unlawful means, it is not permissible for the father to share food with him. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
