Purchasing an animal to slaughter with haraam money
Question
Can one perform zabiha of an animal that is purchased with illegal means, i.e. money earned from gambling, smuggling drugs, etc.
Answer
Money that is earned through illegal means is supposed to be given out in charity without the niyyat of thawaab. It is haraam for him to use that wealth.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
