Is the money the father earned from guarding a winery lawful or unlawful, and is the retirement pension the mother receives from the same source after the father's death lawful or unlawful, given that the father spent the money on ten children?

It is not permissible to work as a guard for a winery, because it falls under cooperating in sin and aggression, and the money earned from it is unlawful. As for benefiting from what the father built with this money, it is permissible for you. However, it is not permissible to benefit from the current pension, and it must be disposed of by spending it on charitable causes and public welfare, unless you are poor, in which case it is permissible to the extent of your need.
