The questioner must sincerely repent from the forbidden work and illicit trade, and dispose of the unlawful money by spending it on general Muslim welfare or on the poor and needy. He must trust in Allah, who provides a way out for the righteous and replaces what they have abandoned for Allah with something better. For a person's provision is decreed, and no soul shall die until it has received its full sustenance. As for the lack of a helper, he should seek Allah's help, supplicate sincerely, and take the necessary steps to search for work, being careful not to despair of Allah's mercy.
