The answer

If secretarial work does not involve assisting in the sale of prohibited items, then it is permissible, and the salary is lawful. However, if it involves cooperation in the sale of prohibited items, then it is not permissible, and a portion of the salary equal to the extent of assistance in selling the prohibited items is unlawful. As for the mixed wealth of a father who worked in selling prohibited items, it is permissible to benefit from it.
