Does the money my fiancé earns from partners who acquire money through illicit means, considering he is the company's accountant and distributes the profits, constitute unlawful money, if it does not come from the profits of suspicious deals, knowing that he is my husband by Sharia?
"Seeking what is lawful is commendable, but it is not permissible to accuse the husband of lying based on mere suspicion, especially since he is a religious man who strives for what is lawful. Accusing a Muslim and slandering him is more forbidden than consuming unlawful wealth, as Allah Almighty says: 'O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful' (Al-Hujurat: 12), and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Indeed, among the worst forms of riba (usury) is violating the honor of a Muslim without right.'
What the questioner mentioned is not sufficient to rule that the husband's wealth is unlawful, especially since she did not mention the reason for the unlawfulness in the transaction mentioned. Merely participating from his mixed wealth is disliked (makrooh) but not forbidden (haram). The husband should be advised to seek partners who strive for what is lawful, to avoid doubts, but accusing him of lying or dealing with him as if his earnings are unlawful is not correct."
