The answer

It is permissible to accept a gift or salary from someone whose wealth is mixed with both lawful and unlawful components. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to interact with and accept gifts from polytheists, Jews, and others, whose wealth was mixed. It is incumbent upon anyone who wishes to benefit from a portion of mixed wealth to intend that it be from the lawful part.
