The answer

If a Muslim's wealth is mixed with unlawful (haram) money, he must extract the amount of unlawful money from his wealth and disburse it in its Sharia-prescribed channels. The loss he incurred from his lawful (halal) money remains. Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah was asked about a man whose lawful wealth is mixed with unlawful wealth, and he replied: "He should extract the amount of unlawful wealth by measure and give it to its owner, and the amount of lawful wealth is his."
