Does the rejection of the prayer of one who bought a garment for ten dirhams, one dirham of which was unlawful, include one for whom the money was a gift or who found it?
The Hadith "Whoever buys a garment for ten [dirhams] and a single dirham of its price is unlawful, Allah will not accept his prayer as long as he wears it" is very weak. Prayer performed in a garment earned entirely or partially from unlawful means is valid according to the majority of scholars, though sinful. Consuming unlawful earnings is one of the reasons for prayers not being answered. Money gifted by a person whose wealth is mixed with lawful and unlawful sources is not unlawful for the recipient; rather, it is lawful but disliked, unless the forbidden money itself was gifted to him.
