The answer

Whoever repents from trading in prohibited goods should spend its profits on charitable causes as a purification, not as a charity. If unlawful money is mixed with lawful money, it should be estimated and disbursed until it is highly probable that the money is pure. A person who was a disbeliever when earning unlawful gains and then embraced Islam is not required to disburse them. However, a Muslim who earned unlawful gains, knowing them to be prohibited, and then repented, is required to disburse whatever unlawful gains they possess.
