What is the ruling regarding a wife remaining with her husband who works as a store manager for alcoholic beverages, and what is the ruling regarding the mixing of their wealth? Is the money she earns with the intention of acquiring lawful money considered lawful in this case?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Working as a guard for liquor stores is religiously prohibited, and the money earned from it is illicit. The husband must repent. The wife and children may consume this money in extreme necessity if they cannot find any other lawful money; otherwise, they may not. The wife should demand lawful maintenance from her husband, and she is not permitted to take illicit money if she is able to earn. She should provide for herself from her own earnings if her husband does not provide her with lawful maintenance. As for young children, they may take from their father's money, unlike older, earning children.
