What is the ruling on a wife eating and dressing from her husband's money if he worked as a guard in a store that sells alcohol for more than ten years, bearing in mind that he has been working for an electronics products company for more than five years now?

It is obligatory to avoid places where unlawful acts are practiced. However, if the husband's job is to guard a shop where permissible goods are predominantly sold, and his work is not directly connected to unlawful acts, such as carrying alcohol, then his wage is permissible. Likewise, his work in electronic products is permissible. Therefore, there is no harm in eating or wearing from his money.
