If the Husbands Wealth is Unlawful, What Should the Wife Do? 

 The Permanent Committee of Scholars

Question:

If the husbands wealth is unlawful, what should the wife do?



The Permanent Committee of Scholars:

If she knows that the earnings which the husband brings home is unlawful then it is not allowed for her to take from it. She should seek from him to make an earning from a lawful income, otherwise she should raise the issue to the authorities, such as the Islamic courts.
