Is a wife considered unjust to her husband if she requests a divorce from him due to suspicion of unlawfulness (haram) in his money, despite his love for her and his promise to investigate and strive to seek what is lawful (halal)?

Your keenness for your husband to earn a lawful living is religiously required, and it is not permissible to condone his unlawful earnings. Advise your husband to seek out lawful earnings and to learn the rulings of Islamic law pertaining to his work, and let him ask scholars. If that does not help, then you may separate from him through divorce () or annulment (khul'), and that would not be an injustice to him.
