أنصح كل من ابتلي بمكسب فيه حرام، ممن يعوله أن يحاول الخلاص من مثل هذا المكسب لقوله عليه الصلاة والسلام: ( كل لحم نبت من السحت فالنار أولى به )
I advise everyone who is afflicted with earning an income that has ḥarām in it, (especially) those who are responsible for others, to strive to free themselves from such earnings due to the saying of the Prophet ﷺ:
"Every flesh that grows out of unlawful earnings, then the Hell-Fire is more befitting for it."
لا شك أن هذا الحديث والذي يتضمن هذا الحكم الشديد كسائر الأحكام الشرعية داخل في عموم قوله عليه السلام: ( ما أمرتكم به من شيء فأتوا منه ما استطعتم)،
There is no doubt that this ḥadīth, which inclides this severe ruling, like all the legislative rulings in Islām, falls under the general (meaning) in the statement of the Prophet ﷺ:
"Whatever I have commanded you to do, do as much of it as you can."
فما استطاع المسلم يبتعد عن هذه الحياة التي تبنى على مكسب حرام
Therefore, a Muslim should distance himself from a life that is built upon ḥarām earnings as much as possible.
فمن استطاع من الأبناء أن يكتسب قوت يومه بعرق جبينه فذلك خير له وأبقى .
So, whoever of his children is able to earn his livelihood by the sweat of his brow (i.e., by working hard), then that is better for him and long-lasting.
