Is money inherited from a father who worked as an accountant in a tobacco factory and received a social security pension from it, which the mother is currently receiving, halal or haram, and what is the legitimate solution if it is haram?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Manufacturing, selling, and buying tobacco are unlawful (haram). Everyone who assists in this is included in the prohibition. This includes working in accounting at a tobacco factory, and its wages are unlawful (haram) because they are for a prohibited benefit. The retirement pension is also not permissible to take unless it is a gift from the factory.
