If the husband purchased the land through a valid transaction with the owner's consent, then there is no harm in consuming its crops and fruits. This is not forbidden due to the involvement of a corrupt lawyer. However, if the purchase was invalid, such as acquiring it without the owner's consent or through a deceptive scheme by the lawyer, then it is impermissible to consume its crops or fruits. In such a case, the husband must be advised and warned of the consequences of consuming unlawfully acquired wealth.
