What is the ruling on including a woman in a financial cooperative if her husband works as a manager in a gambling club, knowing the possibility that the money she pays is from her husband's money?
Allah has forbidden gambling because it spreads enmity and hatred, and it diverts from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. Working in gambling clubs is forbidden because it involves aiding in sin and associating with its practitioners. The earnings acquired from it are unlawful, and one must repent from it and dispose of the illicit money by spending it on charitable causes. Based on this, it is not permissible to include the woman in the association if it is known that she is participating with her husband's unlawful money. If this is unknown, then it is permissible. If her husband has both lawful and unlawful money, and it is not known that her contribution is specifically from the unlawful money, then it is permissible to include her, though it is disliked if his unlawful money is more abundant.
