The question

Is money earned from a cleaning company managed by the husband in the wife's name, while evading part of the taxes and employing illegal labor, considered lawful money, and what should be done with the money earned if it is unlawful, and what procedures must be followed in the future when re-registering the company in the husband's name?

The answer

What the husband did by way of fraud is not permissible in Islamic law. Muslims residing in the West should be good role models. The fraud must be rectified. Earning from this project is permissible despite the violations. Usurious gains must be avoided, and if acquired, they must be disposed of for the general benefit of Muslims. Working in cinema in Western countries is not permissible due to the cooperation in sin involved, and the husband must repent from it.
