قُلْتُ الرَّجُلُ يَخْرُجُ ثُمَّ يَقْدَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَ قَدْ أَفَادَ الْمَالَ الْكَثِيرَ فَلَا نَدْرِي اكْتَسَبَهُ مِنْ حَلَالٍ أَوْ حَرَامٍ فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَانْظُرْ فِي أَيِّ وَجْهٍ يُخْرِجُ نَفَقَاتِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ يُنْفِقُ فِيمَا لَا يَنْبَغِي مِمَّا يَأْثَمُ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from the one who narrated it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said, ‘A man went out, then he returned to us and he had benefited by a lot of wealth, but we do not know whether he earned it from Permissible means, or Prohibited?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If it was that, so look at for which aspect he takes his expenditure out. So if he were to spend on what is from the prohibited and sinful matters, so it is of Prohibited means’.
