Is a person punished for using ill-gotten money spent on him by his family after he has tried in vain to advise them? And is it permissible for him to use electricity stolen from the state, which is widespread in his country, and to what extent does necessity permit its use in this case?
If a person's entire wealth is unlawful (haram), then it is not permissible to engage in financial transactions with him regarding his wealth. If some of his wealth is lawful, then engaging in financial transactions with him is disliked (makruh). It is not forbidden to eat from his wealth unless it is from the exact unlawful (haram) money itself.
