The Prophet said, Giving must be from Halal assets
Look for a halal job, so that our income is halal and brings rewards.
Message of the Prophet Muhammad
Abi Said al-Khudri ra. revealed, the Messenger of Allah said, “Anyone who obtains property lawfully, then he feeds and clothes himself and those who are dependent on him, then his actions constitute zakat for him.”
(HR. Ibn Hiban)
From Abu Hurairah’s hadith, it is explained that we as Muslims are commanded to consume and use halal possessions. Because lawful wealth is what Allah will accept.
The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said,
God willing, God willing, God willing, God willing
“Indeed Allah is thoyyib (good). Allah will not accept anything except that which is thoyyib (halal).”
(HR. Muslim no. 1015)
If it is mixed, most of the treasures are haram
For assets that are a mixture of halal assets and haram assets if there are more of the haram assets, Imam Ahmad is of the opinion that it is appropriate to avoid these assets except for something that is a little or something that is difficult to recognize.
However, Hambali ulama have different opinions regarding this matter, some argue that using it is haram and some say it is makruh.
Sufyan said, “I am not amazed by such treasures. What I admire is leaving behind such treasures.”
If what is mixed is mostly halal assets
For assets with a greater amount of halal content, it is permissible to use and eat from the assets under such conditions. There is a history from Al Harith from ‘Ali which supports this condition. The reason it is still permissible is because the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam and his companions used to collaborate or trade with polytheists and people of the book. Even though the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam and his companions knew that they did not avoid everything that was haram entirely.
If the division between halal and haram assets is unclear
If there is an equal share of halal assets and haram assets, then it becomes doubtful. For wara’ or caution, it is better to leave this condition. Sufyan said, “I am not amazed by such treasures. What I admire is leaving behind such treasures.”
