Doubt Whether Earnings Are Unlawful
May I transact with someone who I suspect earns from impermissible means?
The permissibility of transacting with a source whose earnings might be unlawful depends on the extent to which the source’s wealth is unlawful and the degree of certainty to which one determines the extent of this unlawfulness. One should determine the unlawfulness of the source’s earnings according to that which is reasonably apparent; it is neither recommended nor preferred to seek out information about the unlawfulness of a source’s earnings.
