Is it permissible for a son to benefit from the inheritance of his father, the judge, which is likely to have been mixed with unlawful money or bribes? And would the father's conscience be cleared, and would it be permissible to benefit from it, if the amount of the unlawful money were estimated and given as charity to the poor, with the desire not to expose him among his family?
If you know or strongly believe that inherited properties were purchased with unlawful money, then the amount of the unlawful money must be given out in charity to the poor, so that the heirs may lawfully benefit from those properties. It is not obligatory to dispose of the assets purchased with unlawful money.
