Is it permissible to use ill-gotten money to help an unmarried brother with his studies (transportation, books, and fees) and to save the rest to assist him with marriage in the future? And does Allah accept repentance in this manner? And is an unmarried sister obligated to spend on her unmarried brother?
Ill-gotten wealth must be disposed of immediately. It is not permissible to keep it or to give it to a brother for university studies, as these are not essential needs. As for a sister's financial support for her brother, it is obligatory if she is well-off and he is poor.
