1. Will the questioner be absolved of responsibility before Allah, and what is the ruling on the sale that took place to buy the brother's share in the shop? Will his lawful money be mixed with unlawful money because of this transaction? 2. Is the brother sinful for continuing to work for the questioner as an employee, while being given more than half of the profit, in order to relieve him of his share in the jointly owned shop? 3. Are the brother's circumstances considered to be those of someone in dire necessity, and what are the Sharia proofs for that?

Working in a casino that serves alcoholic beverages is forbidden, and the wages earned from it are unlawful. Whoever repents from this work must dispose of these wages by spending them on charitable causes. It is permissible for such a person to take from it according to his need if he is poor, or to use it as capital for a lawful business. The profits resulting from circulating unlawful money are lawful, and there is no objection to this person participating in a company, because the unlawfulness of the money is related to his personal accountability, not to the money itself.
