Is it permissible to take money from a father who works in haram (unlawful earnings) to perform 'Umrah, or to borrow from him with the intention of repaying it later?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If your father's money is mixed between lawful and unlawful, it is permissible for you to take from it for or to borrow from it and repay it later, based on the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, eating from a Jew's food and pawning his shield with him, knowing that Jews consume ill-gotten gains. However, if all his money is unlawful, it is not permissible for you to deal with him through gifts or loans, and you are not obligated to perform Umrah due to lack of ability, for Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity.
