After repenting from participating in an advertising program and earning money from it, is all the money considered unlawful if the permissible advertisements were placed on pages containing information from various sources, or images copied without the permission of their owners or without mentioning the source, or pages copied as they are from other websites without mentioning the source, with inability to determine which pages generated the profits? Is it permissible to give this money as charity to a father who is indebted and ill? Is it permissible to borrow unlawful money and then give an equivalent amount as charity in the future?

In summary, what has been mentioned does not affect the permissibility of earnings acquired from permissible advertisements. As for giving unlawful money as charity to oneself and one's family, if the almsgiver is poor or their family is poor, it is permissible for them to give it to them according to their needs, because they are the most deserving of charity.
