Contents > Economy and Trade in Islam > Haram earnings
al-Kasib ul-Haraam - You must know not to earn by prohibited means. Abu Hurairah (ra) narrated that the Prophet (saw) said,
“O people! Verily, Allah is the pure (al-Tayyib) and he doesn’t accept anything except if it is pure. Verily Allah has ordered the believers with what he ordered the Messenger, and He says,
“O Messengers! Eat (all) things that are good and pure, and work righteousness: for I am well-acquainted with (all) that you do.” [al-Qur’an, Surah al-Mu’minoon, 23: 51]
And He says,“O you who believe! Eat of the good things that We have provided for you, and be grateful to Allah, if it is Him you worship.” [al-Qur’an, Surah al-Baqarah, 2: 172] And then he mentioned the man who travelled very far until his hair was dishevelled, then he lifts his hands to the sky calling, ‘O my Lord! O my Lord!’ while his food was Haram, his clothes were Haram and he was nourished from Haram (earnings). So how can his prayer be accepted?” Saheeh al-Muslim
And the Prophet (saw) said,
“Seeking Halal earnings is an obligation after the other obligations.” Sunan al-Bayhaqi and al-Tabaraani
