What is the ruling on money acquired from selling a commodity that was purchased with a keyboard obtained through illicit money? And does using that keyboard affect the lawfulness of the money earned from working on the computer? And is the money acquired from selling two commodities placed for sale with a friend, with a profit margin specified for me and a profit margin left for him, lawful or unlawful? And does using tools (such as clothes, a keyboard, or a means of transport) purchased with illicit money affect the lawfulness of the money earned, and are these means considered capital for work?

There is no objection to using the money earned from selling the two wallets, or authorizing your friend to sell them. Similarly, using the aforementioned keyboard does not affect the permissibility of the money earned from working on the computer. The prohibition relates to the method of earning money, and its sin remains on the earner until he repents. Using something bought with money due to the method of earning it does not affect the permissibility of the earned money.
