Is the money that will be paid to the groom by the bride's father, who owns a tobacco factory, considered illicit money, and is it obligatory to proceed with the marriage or withdraw?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a woman is religious and of good character, there is no objection to marrying her; in fact, it is preferable. The fact that her father works with unlawful money does not affect this. One can avoid her father's participation with unlawful money in matters of marriage, or refuse it. If that is not possible, then it can be taken and spent on the poor and needy without his knowledge, if the participation is in the form of ownership. However, if unlawful money is mixed with lawful money, there is no objection to accepting his participation.
