The answer

There is no objection to working with someone who spends excessively on permissible matters or whose wealth is a mixture of lawful and unlawful. However, the worker must refrain from any prohibited dealings and is not allowed to engage in them or assist in them, for Allah Almighty says: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty."
