Ushr From Person With Unlawful Earnings
Is it permissible to accept ushr from a person whose earnings are unlawful?
The permissibility of taking ushr from 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 the ushr recipient determines the extent of this unlawfulness. The ushr recipient 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.
