If the wealth of the gifted person is mixed with lawful and unlawful elements, it is permissible to accept their gift according to the preponderant opinion, but it is disliked if the unlawful element predominates. However, if all of their wealth is unlawful, then it is not permissible to take anything from it, whether as a gift or otherwise.
