(Fatawa Hindiyyah p.347 v.5) However, one has to make sure that the food he is consuming must be halal.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWith regards to eating at a Muslims house whose rizq is unlawful is as follows: if a person&rsquo;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&rsquo;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 Fatawa p.104 v.8)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tEating Halal is a fundamental aspect for one&rsquo;s worship being accepted by Allah.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSaiduna Abu Hurayah (RA) narrates that the Prophet of Allah (SAW) said: &ldquo;Allah is pure and accepts only that which is pure. Allah has commanded the faithful to do that which he commanded the messengers.&rdquo; And Allah (SAW) has said: &ldquo;O you who believe! Eat of the pure things and do right.&rdquo; Allah (SAW) has said: &ldquo;Oh you who believe! Eat of the pure things we have provided you.&rdquo; Then the Prophet of Allah (SAW) mentioned a man who journeyed far and dishevelled and dusty and spends out of his hand to the Heavens: &ldquo;O lord! O Lord! While his food is unlawful, and he is nourished unlawfully, so how can his dua be answered!&rdquo; (Sahih Muslim)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFrom this Hadith we can understand that unlawful income does have an effect on ones worship and acceptance of ones duas.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSaaiduna Abu Bakr Radiallahu Anhu narrated that the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam said &ldquo;That body will not enter Paradise which has been nourished with Haram&rdquo; (Sunan Baihaqi)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSaaiduna Ka`b Bin Ujrah narrates that the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam said, &ldquo;A body nourished with Haram will not enter Jannah&rdquo;. (Sunan Tirmizi)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSaaiduna Jabir Bin Abdullah Radiallahu Anhu narrates that the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam said, &ldquo;That flesh will not enter Paradise which has grown from Haram, and all that flesh which has grown from Haram, the fire (of hell) is more worthy of it.&rdquo; (Musnad Ahmad, Sunan Darimi &amp; Sunan Baihaqi)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tOnly Allah Knows Best\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMohammed Tosir Miah\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDarul Ifta Birmingham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eating at a Muslim&rsquo;s house whose rizq is unlawful In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.
