The answer

Borrowing from someone whose entire wealth is unlawful is impermissible. If some of it is unlawful and some is lawful, then it is disliked. It is permissible for him to give you a portion of his wealth for trading on the basis of (profit-sharing) according to the -compliant conditions. If the owner of the wealth is your wife and you wish to give her a fixed monthly amount from her share of the profit, there is no harm in that. She has the right to the amount if she fulfills her share, and you may waive the rest for her without a condition in the contract.
