Is the brother-in-law's money considered illicit, and how should one deal with his sister (the wife) after the sister felt that her brother-in-law had deprived her of her rights in a verbal business partnership, and reluctantly agreed to his judgment fearing disagreement, and the questioner's husband decided not to accept anything from them to avoid suspicion?

Your brother-in-law's money is not unlawful; rather, it is mixed wealth from which it is permissible to accept gifts and eat from his food, though it is disliked. This disliking ceases if refraining would negatively impact the ties of kinship. If your sister absolves her husband of her right, the money becomes lawful for him.
