Is lawful and permissible earning affected by the presence of food or clothing from unlawful wealth, and would the earning then contain a semblance of unlawfulness?
If a person consumes forbidden food or wears clothes bought with ill-gotten money, and then performs a permissible act, the forbidden food or clothing has no effect on that permissible act or permissible commercial transaction. This is because the aspect (of the act) is disjoined from the aspect (of the prohibition). Consequently, it does not affect his earnings as long as they are lawful. He must repent to Allah for consuming forbidden food or wearing forbidden clothing. This is because if a prohibition has two aspects, one commanded and one forbidden, and the aspect of the command is disjoined from the aspect of the prohibition, it does not necessitate invalidation.
