Is money earned from working in a country that was entered illegally permissible or forbidden?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
These funds are permissible for their earner if they were acquired in exchange for a lawful act in itself, even if he sinned in the manner of their entry into the country. The money is permissible due to the permissibility of the way it was earned, but he sins for bringing it in a manner prohibited by Islamic law.
