Will Allah accept the supplication of one who consumed unlawful wealth, then repented, for the period preceding his repentance?
Eating haram things is one of the reasons why supplications are not answered and good deeds are not accepted, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A man undertakes a long journey, disheveled and dusty, he stretches his hands towards the sky, O Lord, O Lord, while his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothing is unlawful, and he is nourished by the unlawful, so how can he be answered?"
There is no evidence that the supplication of a disobedient person during his disobedience will be answered after repentance. However, if a servant repents sincerely, Allah will accept his repentance, and if he supplicates, his supplication will be answered, especially if his food and drink are lawful, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Make your food lawful, and your supplication will be answered."
