\n\tQuestion:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf a person's parent’s brothers and sisters do not care about halal and haram earnings, Is it okay for the son to eat in his parent’s house? I must stress he has no proof that their earnings are haram and when he asks them they insist that their earnings are halal and the food is good
\n\tto eat. Is It okay for that person to eat at his families house as he
\n\tdoes not live with his parents, or does he trust them that the food is
\n\thalal. He suspects and has seen people from his family playing scratch
\n\tcards and brothers talking of working whilst claiming benefits. I must
\n\tstress he has no proof.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEating Halal is a fundamental aspect for one’s worship being accepted by Allah.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAbu Hurayah narrates that the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) said: “Allah is pure and accepts only that which is pure. Allah has commanded the faithful to do that which he commanded the messengers.” And Allah has said: “O you who believe! Eat of the pure things and do right.” Allah has said: “Oh you who believe! Eat of the pure things we have provided you.” Then the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) mentioned a man who journeyed far and dishelmed and dusty and spends out oh his hand to the Heavens: “O lord! O Lord! While his food is unlawful, and he is nourished unlawfully, so how can his dua be answered!” (Sahih Muslim)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom this Hadith we can understand that unlawful income does have an effect on ones worship and acceptance of ones duas.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIt should be borne in mind that if a person’s majority income is lawful and less than half is unlawful, it would be permissible to eat from the food purchased with such income. However, if a person’s majority income is unlawful even though the food itself is halal, but because it was purchased with haram money that food will also be considered haram. (Ahsanul Fataawa p.104 v.8)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Allah knows best.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
