My uncle deals in some haraam business although the greater part of his income is halaal.

Answer

There exists a popular misconception regarding the issue of earnings consisting of halaal and haraam. The ‗greater portion' being the determinant is of technical import. Even a little haraam renders the whole admixture contaminated. A couple of drops of urine in a bucket of water contaminate all the water in the bucket. Similarly, consuming the food of your uncle will contaminate your Imaan.

It is not permissible to consume the food acquired from a mixture of halaal and haraam money. It is a haraam spiritual poison. It is spiritual pollution which harms one's Imaan. In fact, one should not consume the food of even a debtor who procrastinates in paying his debts or is recalcitrant in paying or finds it difficult to pay. Eating the food of debtors is Makrooh. written in the Nikah certifi- wakeel of the bride was omit-
